(’use of Mrs. M.—It pivoted on
the experience of Mrs. M , a middle
aged, highly respected mother of an
engaged daughter and a son gradu
ating from law school who was
carrying on an affair with her
former sweetheart, a dignified fam
ily man. She went to meet him
clandestinely in a nearby town, and
while there witnessed the commis
sion of a murder. Two Colored
men entered a bank shortly before
business hours, held up and killed
the cashier who was alone, and -
escaped with thousands of dollars.
Mrs. M.’s first Impulse was to go
to the police and furnish the infor
mation which shf as the onlv wit

sober reflection she realized that it
would be difficult to explain her
presence in the town without be

were arrested, convicted and sen

they did not commit. Their appeals
ror clemency and commutation of
sentence were turned down by the
Governor and the date of execution
set.
Mrs M. need only tell what she
knew in order to save the lives of
these men.
HER PROBLEM:
To speak would mean ruin for
herself, her family, the man and
his family. Both families were In

silent would be to let two Inno
