AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A photographer photographs his wife's lady companion apparently talking to this younger brother-in-law Frank in the botanical gardens. She is discovered murdered by a poison and Frank is suspected. But the discovery of a marriage certificate and the lady's ring in the possession of a purported squatter about to marry a rich society girl turns suspicion elsewhere. The bride-to-be though photographed in her gown dies soon after - before she is married. Comments on the effects of social connection and money or justice - it helps the intended groom escape. (PB)
