Lydia Gilmore Synopsis

Although she loves humble Ralph Benham, Lydia marries the wealthy Dr. Gilmore at the request of her guardian aunt. After a few years, Gilmore becomes involved with Mrs. Stracey, a family friend, but is discovered and confronted by Mr. Stracey, who is killed by Gilmore during an ensuing fight. To protect her son Ned, Lydia agrees to lie to the authorities about Gilmore's whereabouts and is counseled on her trial testimony by a sympathetic Ralph, who, by coincidence, is the prosecutor in the case. In court, Lydia repeats her protective lies, but her story is thrown into question when her servant testifies that Ralph visited Lydia on the night of the murder. Suspicious, the judge demands that Ned be called to the witness stand, but unable to allow her son to lie under oath, Lydia finally confesses. Faced with a severe sentence, Gilmore commits suicide, and Lydia suffers a nervous breakdown but is cared for tenderly by Ralph and his sister.
