Primitive man carried over his evolutionary progression not only a keen interest in wounds but also methods of dealing with them, Fractured bones have come to us from the stone age and many of them show evidence of satisfactory healing indicating a knowledge of splints and rest. Even before the time of the Egyptian papyri three of the principles of wound healing had been established. They were, namely, the removal of foreign material, the control of hemorrhage or bleeding, and the maintenance of rest.

driver and the Stranger, played by Jack Paul, returned to the house with the brief case of Judge Rollins containing the $10,000. After much discussion they decided to split the contents when Detective Briggs arrived on the scene and put the two under arrest. While he was putting the handcuffs on the pair a gun was thrust through the door and Detective Briggs was relieved of the brief case containing the money. This left Detective Briggs nearly in the same predicament as when Judge Rollins disappeared. Detective Briggs called every person into the room again and had Sarah perform another spirit talk with the dead.

While the performance was going on Tom Foster, played by Jack Lorraine, pulled a gun from his pocket and held up the persons in the room including Detective Briggs. "Tom" confessed that he stole the money of Judge Rollins from the detective while he was putting the handcuffs on the two other suspects. He also stated that he kidnaped the judge for his money but later realized that the judge did not have the money on his person and he left him free. Just as "Tom" was to leave the stage the bus driver and the stranger who were captured before by the detective broke away from their room and arrived just in time to catch "Tom" who was about to leave with the money. The scene of the mystery ended up with Bonnie Baker and Ralph Norris, the couple that were secretly married, making love.
