AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A book-keeper at a lumber company receives a large amount of money from a client near closing time and takes it home in his coat rather than risk leaving it at the office. When the coat is stolen he resolves to lie, then to kill himself - but the coat is discovered at the last moment. (PB)
