This two-reel number has numerous faults in construction and is quite improbable, but it gets hold of the interest very strongly toward the close. Quite a lot of suspense is aroused over the prospect of Bell's execution for murder. The hero-convict forges a stay of execution and thus saves his employer's life. The ex-convict was entirely lost sight of for quite a while, as the crime was being shown and during subsequent scenes. This gave the observer time to almost lose interest in him. The confession of the real criminal and his deathbed scene were needlessly horrible. This number has a strong story interest in spite of its shortcomings. - The Moving Picture World, August 1, 1914
