Marks Avenges Deaths of St. Clair & Uncle Tom (second part)

  Scene summary from the 1903 Edison Catalogue:
. . . George Shelby, Jr., a son of the former owner of Tom, inquires of Legree if he owns an old negro boy by the name of "Uncle Tom," and Legree tells him that he did and that he was out in the woodshed trying to die. Shelby tells him that if any harm has come to Tom, he will have to answer for it. Then he goes in search of Tom. Marks enters and informs Legree that he has a warrant for his arrest for the murder of St. Clare. Legree strikes with his whip at Marks, who dodges under his arm and kills him dead.
