The woman of the house is on her knees saying her prayers when the desperate man enters her bedroom. Her back is toward him, but she sees him in a mirror and is petrified with fear. The convict, thinking himself unobserved, stealthily hides under the bed. The woman fears to give an alarm, and endeavors to still her trembling nerves, awaiting the momentary return of her husband. At last he arrives, and she then fears for his safety and, declining to open the door, begs him not to disturb her, as she has a headache. This unusual conduct arouses his suspicions, and finding the coat and hat the convict wore, he secures his revolver and demands instant admission. Upon her refusal he breaks down the door just as the pursuing guards rush in through the window, and his wife falls unconscious to the floor. The convict is dragged from under the bed, and is discovered to have been dead for some time. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
