He finds a note from her saying that she has gone with another man. He is leaving with vengeance in his heart, when stopped by the detective. He tells him that he can go free, if he will reveal the hiding place of the money. He does so. His wife then rushes into the room, telling Gilder that it is all a trick, and that the detectives have forced her to write the note. He goes into the bedroom with her, and breaks down beside the child's crib. The phone rings, and the detective learns that they have found the money and with it the president of the bank, who has used Gilder as his tool. The detective informs Gilder, and advises him to tell the State all he knows, and that he will probably be freed. Written by
