Synopsis
J. H. Wareing, the treasurer of a New York bank, is found murdered in his library one morning; missing are some securities and a necklace he had shown to the butler Jason the night before. Also present that night was the family physician, Dr. Barton. Suspicion points to the butler. There are a series of complications, involving Wareing's daughter Florence and her acquaintance with a little girl named Mary, who lives with Bill, a burglar. Finally, Dr. Barton, being of a spiritualist bent, arranges for a séance to determine the murderer, which proves to be his undoing, for he alone sees an apparition of Wareing, causing him to betray his own guilt as the man's murderer. Dr. Barton is arrested, and the Wareing estate is restored to Florence, who marries Stanley Carter, an attorney for the bank.
