THE FINGER OF SUSPICION
ROBERT WAEEACE, a promising young attorney, writes to his fiancee, Kathleen, informing her that he has secured a position in the west and that she must hurry her preparations for their wedding in order that they may leave at once. Kathleen, who lives with an invalid sister, Adele, finds that she must make an important decision. She finally decides that her duty is with the sister and she therefore writes to Robert as follows: “You know that I love you but my duty is with Adele. This is your great chance. Go and God bless you.” That night Robert comes to the little cottage and meets Kathleen on the porch. He draws forth the note and learning that her decision is final, he exclaims, “Only your sister stands between us !”
In the little sitting room Adele hears the exclamation of her sister’s sweetheart and is heartbroken. Robert, informing Kathleen that he will leave at once, enters the sitting room to say good-bye to Adele. The housekeeper, passing through the room, sees the young attorney leaning over the in
valid’s chair and nervously fingering a glass on the table.
When Robert leaves, Adele is found dead. The housekeeper calls attention to what she has seen, and, despite the protests of Kathleen, a police office is summoned with the coroner. Robert is arrested.
At the trial it is found that the circumstantial evidence is not strong enough to convict Robert. He writes a note to Kathleen saying that although he has been acquitted many think him guilty and he is leaving for the west on. the afternoon train.
In her sorrow, Kathleen takes from the bookcase a book of poems which she has been in the habit of reading to her sick sister. In the book she finds a note reading, “You have faithfully fulfilled the promise you gave our mother and I am going to set you free. The little powder I have kept for months gently shows the way. Adele.” Kathleen hastens to the station and overtakes Robert, who now finds that his name has been cleared forever.
