The Engraver
監督:Francis J. GrandonRed Galvin is chief of a gang of counterfeiters, his headquarters being an old shack in the mining section of the west, where he and his men pose as prospectors. One of the gang, John Taylor, an expert engraver, who is in the last stages of tuberculosis, has almost completed the plate of a twenty-dollar gold certificate. His daughter, Madge, loathes her father's work. One day, when Galvin is particularly brutal to Taylor, a quarrel ensues, which causes Taylor's death. A strike is declared by the bank note engravers in a city several miles away, and Ralph Davis, an expert engraver, who is the sole support of his mother, is unable to secure employment. He places an advertisement in the local newspaper, which is seen by Galvin, and Davis receives an offer of steady work. Davis accepts and on his arrival at the shack is told at the point of a pistol to complete the work on the plate. He refuses and puts up a fight, but is overpowered and forced to obey. As the plate is nearing completion, it is necessary to secure a supply of sulfuric acid, and Galvin writes an order for the liquid, which he places in an envelope and gives it to Jose, a half-witted Mexican. At this moment the guard warns Galvin of the approach of a horseman and as Galvin leaves Davis seizes the opportunity to outwit him. With the assistance of Madge, he attracts the attention of the Mexican, takes the envelope from his pocket and hastily writing a note stating that, "he is held captive by a gang of counterfeiters," He loosens the seal of the envelope, and slipping his note inside, reseals it and puts the envelope back into Jose's pocket. When the Mexican arrives at the general store and delivers the note, the proprietor notifies the sheriff and Jose is followed hack to the shack. The lookout, however, discovers the approach of the sheriff and gives the alarm. Galvin locks Davis in another room and in the hurry to make a getaway, the oil stove is overturned, setting fire to the shack. Several of the sheriff's men rescue Davis and others pursue Galvin, who is shot and mortally wounded. Galvin, with his last breath, exonerates Davis,
