Excerpt from The Hand of the Law: A Rural Drama in Three Acts
The hand Of The Law is an interesting story of New England life, the scenes being laid in the little village of Bradford, county seat of Bradford county. Dan Chamberlain, a young attorney, wins the love of Edith Hazelton, a village girl. Dan is chosen to the office of prosecuting attorney, defeating Squire Evans, owner of the grist mill, for re-election. Through force of circumstances he is placed in the position of prosecuting Ruben Hazelton, father of Edith, on a charge of murder, the circumstantial evidence against Ruben being great. A misunderstanding arises between Edith and Dan, brought about by the squire, who loves Edith, and Grace, who is in love with Dan. The murdered man is George Gregory, bookkeeper for the squire, and there was but one witness, Ezra, a village lad, who is struck by a chance shot from the squire's revolver before he has an opportunity to reveal the identity of the murderer. Through the work of Abner Judkins, a tin badge detective, and through an accident which restores Ezra's memory, Ruben is cleared of the murder charge and Dan wins Edith. Comedy is furnished by Abner and by Sally Snodgrass, maid-of-all work for the Hazeltons.
