The Lying Truth (1922)
Following his parents' deaths, Bill O'Hara is reared by the Clairbornes, who own the local newspaper and have their own son, Sam. Just before Mr. Clairborne's death, Bill becomes heir to the estate and Sam is disowned because of his dope addiction. Because the newspaper is losing money, Bill plots a bogus "murder" to create news, and the town is soon in an uproar. When Sam's body is found in the swamps, evidence points to his foster brother Bill; De Muidde, the backer of the narcotics gang, seeks to avenge himself for the exposé by having Bill lynched. Mrs. Clairborne arrives just in time, however, with Sam's suicide note, which clears Bill.
