The Accusing Finger

Two bank clerks are in love with the same girl, the daughter of their employer, but she favors the younger man, although she invites both to a party to be held at her home that evening. When closing time arrives at the bank, the unsuccessful suitor sets the time-lock on the safe, so that it cannot be opened until eight forty-five next morning. He figures that if he can lock his rival in the safe overnight, by the morning he will be dead, leaving a clear path to the girl's affections. Through his anguished mind runs a series of thoughts in which the struggles of the imprisoned man and the accusing finger of the time-lock torture his conscience. In a vision he sees the supposed trial, conviction for murder and his step to the gallows. He recovers himself in time before locking the safe door, and his rival comes out unsuspectingly, little dreaming of the fate which he had nearly met and the visions which had been taking place in his companion's mind during that short time.
