At the trial it develops that Mrs. Colby was divorcing her husband to marry Marshall, of whom he had always been jealous. It also comes out that Jean Prentiss, named as corespondent in the Colby case, was deeply in love with Colby, although totally innocent. All witnesses seeing the dead man at his home the night of the murder testify that he “looked at the door behind him.” The jury goes out and brings in a verdict of guilty. Meantime Jean remembers a girl's face through the window at the Marshall funeral. Searching in the Rogues’ Gallery she locates the girl. This underworld denizen, Gertie Van, offers evidence that convicts Mrs. Colby of the crime committed in a jealous rage.
