    Good effect

    This two-reel production treats of an arrest for murder on circumstantial evidence. The old chemist, who is a sour old fellow, gets annoyed at his old servant, and insisting on making his own sandwich, lays the bread on some poison that he has previously spilled on the shelf, and dies from the effects. His nephew is arrested for the murder, and is freed from the charge through the efforts of a scientist who investigates on his own accord and discovers the cause. Thomas Jefferson and Augustus Carney are featured in the picture. Jefferson playing the role of the old chemist and Carney that of the scientist, and both with good effect. - The Moving Picture World, April 10, 1915
