The Papered Door (1915)

Molly Carter is neglected shamefully by her husband for another woman. In a drunken brawl he kills a man, then sneaks back to his wife for protection. She conceals him in a closet, papering over the door to ward off suspicion. A sheriff is stationed outside the house to keep watch. Being a blizzardly night, Molly invites him in to get warm. He falls asleep. Molly then lets her husband out of the closet, and he spends the remainder of the night in the barn. Early the next morning he tries to board a freight train and is killed.
