Borden demanded a retraction and an argument followed, and ended by Borden emptying his weapon point blank at Sinclair, who drops. The fourth member of the little group, Fred Dexter, Borden's cousin, whisks Borden away in his auto, telling Borden he believes he has killed Sinclair and hiding him in Dexter's apartments. Cut off from everyone, Borden is told by Dexter after a fortnight that Sinclair has recovered and is seeking Borden, vowing vengeance. Dexter offers to exonerate Borden by going on the stand and relating the story that led Richard to shoot Sinclair, but Borden will not have the girl's name thus published broadcast. Dexter then urges Borden to escape, suggesting New Zealand. Borden is obliged to give up his painting in New Zealand, as it would betray his whereabouts, but secures a position as illustrator on the Wellington Argus, under an assumed name. Some eight months later, Carr, the city editor, shows Borden a cut in the N.Y. Herald which bears striking resemblance to himself. Borden confesses his identity and tells his story. The Herald item states that Dexter had identified a man found dead in the woods as his cousin, Richard Borden, missing for several months, and Dexter being next of kin, the item continues, inherits the fortune of Francis Borden, South African millionaire, who died on July 18 of the previous year, willing his fortune to Borden. Carr unfolds his theory. At the time of his uncle's death, Borden was traveling across the Atlantic. Dexter planned a stag party immediately on Borden's arrival to keep the news away from him, and with the other two as fellow conspirators carried out the shooting incident. The revolver was loaded with blanks and Borden was whisked away before the true damage was learned by him. Dexter knew Borden would fly the country rather than allow the girl's name to be brought into the case. The trio of conspirators when faced with the facts finally confessed. It was shown that Dexter was in correspondence with Borden when he identified the unknown corpse as that of his cousin. While Borden is screened, the three to escape prosecution choose the alternative of expatriating themselves. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
