Under Suspicion (1913)
The three principal characters are a manufacturer, whose home is in the same building with his works; the wife who has married for money and does not love her husband, though she feels a sense of her obligation to him; and, lastly, the trusted secretary of the manufacturer. This young man is an old-time playmate of the wife and is in love with her. In a few carefully put-on scenes, the smoothly-running and well-ordered household is placed before us. It is shown that a fourth character, a clerk, is gambling beyond his means. Then, by two well-written letters, it is also shown that the secretary has decided to leave his employer lest the affection between him and the wife should compromise her. He asks her for a last interview and this she grants. It is at midnight, and her husband is away. Now, a package containing money was left in the employer's desk at the factory, and the gambling clerk knows of it. He steals it and gets away unobserved, while the secretary, coming from the house, is seen by the watchman, standing before the door of the factory. When the employer returns and the money is not found, suspicion rests on the secretary who has taken a train and is arrested in a distant city. He, seeing how things are turning out,, will not clear himself. The thief is conscience-stricken and puts the money back in the desk. The employer finds it and, in his astonishment, takes it in to tell his wife about it. He takes up the telephone to notify the police when it begins to dawn on his consciousness how peculiar it is that the secretary did not make any defense. His eye glances over toward his wife, and he begins to be suspicious of her. Finally comes the pleasant ending in which figure the pranks of the child who has stolen the note sent by the secretary to the wife, and which the husband and father finds in time.
