Plot Summary:When the young clerk was placed on trial for the murder of his employer, a wealthy financier, the district attorney's office believed it had built up an absolutely unassailable case. The facts which the prosecution could prove and which the young man was unable to deny were as follows: On the day of the crime the accused and several other employees had just returned from lunch when the annunciator rang and the young man's number appeared on the board. The accused entered the room, was there for some minutes, and then reappeared, a revolver in his hand. He declared that he had gone into the private room, and seen no trace of his employer, found the revolver on the floor, was surprised and picked it up. His attention was then attracted to a screen in one corner of the room and behind it he found the body of his employer. He then gave the alarm. Detectives reported that there were two doors to the room, one through the main office, which was filled with clerks, and the other a door to the hall. There was only one key to this latter door, and that was in the possession of the victim. The ringing of the bell would seem to indicate that Mr. Gray had summoned his employee, and there was plenty of evidence that the two men quarreled on the day of the murder and the day before. The fact that no one heard the shot was explained when it was discovered that the weapon was equipped with a Maxim silencer. All that the young man had in his favor was the testimony of his fellow clerks as to his good qualities. Another person who believed in him was the girl to whom he was betrothed and when his trial took place she was in court, with her grandfather, an aged locksmith. When the chief clerk took the stand the old locksmith showed interest and at his request of his daughter secured permission for him to inspect the dead man's keys. After looking at them he took the stand and swore that on the night before the murder a man had called upon him with a wax model of a key and the locksmith made him a key. This, he added, was exactly similar to the key of the private door of the dead financier's room. The excitement increased when the locksmith positively identified the chief clerk as his customer. Brought before the judge the chief retained his nerve, and positively denied accusation. The old locksmith then drew from his pocket a fair sized lump of wax. The locksmith looked at the wax through his spectacles, and said, \"Here is a thumbmark, and it isn't mine.\" Before the chief clerk was aware of his intention the locksmith grabbed his hand and pressed his right thumb down upon the wax near the other mark, after which he held it up triumphantly and called attention to the fact that the two marks were made by the same thumb. The chief clerk confessed. He had been stealing from the firm and knew his employer would soon find him out. He returned from lunch ahead of time, entered the inner office by the private door, disposed of his employer and the evidence against himself. When he was satisfied that the young clerk returned to the outer office he summoned him by the bell and slipped out through the side door before the young man entered, leaving the revolver behind him.
