The Silent Witness Synopsis
The president of a state bank, guilty of malfeasance bribes the District Attorney to suppress the case.

The dissolute secretary makes advances on a friend’s wife and as the husband rushes the roue a lamp is upset, plunging the place into darkness. A flash and a shot and the young blackmailer falls to the floor dead. The wife thinks the husband fired in anger, the husband believes the wife shot to protect herself.
