The Verdict (1925 film)

The Verdict is a 1925 American silent mystery film directed by Fred Windemere and starring Lou Tellegen, Louise Lorraine, and Gertrude Astor.

Plot
As described in a film magazine review, Jimmy is tried and convicted of murder based upon circumstantial evidence after the shooting of Ronsard, an admirer of Jimmy's sweetheart Carol. After a second trial, where Jimmy is proved innocent, the Butler confesses having shot the man in self-defense on the night the young woman was dining quietly with Ronsard. Bookkeeper Jimmy's accounts had come up short, and Ronsard had promised to help if she would dine there.
