The Fateful Diamond (1912)
John Belmore, when leaving home, one morning, is entrusted by his wife with a diamond brooch to get it repaired. He puts it in his overcoat pocket and departs. He visits a restaurant, hangs up his overcoat, and a waiter by mistake puts the coat on another customer who goes away wearing it. When he arrives home, Simpson discovers that the coat is not his; then he learns from an advertisement in a newspaper that it is Belmore's coat, and sends it to him by a messenger. Belmore receives the coat, but finds that the brooch is missing from the pocket; goes to police station and obtains a warrant for Simpson's arrest. Simpson is arrested, tried and sentenced to prison. The overcoat is given by Belmore to an ill-clad man who takes it home, and whose wife, when repairing the coat, discovers the lost brooch in the lining, whence it had fallen through a hole in the pocket. The man restores the brooch to Belmore who hastens to report the news to Simpson's wife. She appeals to the Governor to pardon her husband; the pardon is granted, Simpson is released, and Belmore gives him a position in his office.
