The Star Reporter (1911)
When the police, coroner and the public in general had decided that the nephew of Captain Sanford was guilty of his death, it took the sharp eyes of Bess Reynolds, the star reporter of one of the daily newspapers, to detect a flaw in the chain of circumstantial evidence which would probably send an innocent man to the death chair. Receiving permission from the editor to sift the death of the captain to the very bottom, she follows a plan common among reporters and more often acknowledged as superior to the tactics of the detective force and clears the young man from the charge of murder. But the editor not only wanted to clear up the mystery, but was also looking for a beat; he holds a press in readiness and when Miss Reynolds brings in her copy it is immediately set up by the waiting compositors, then locked up in a form, rushed to the press room, and two minutes later the cry of EXTRA is heard on the street, in the shrill voices of the Metropolitan newsboy.
