The Barton Mystery (1920 film)

Beverly Barton attempts to blackmail Mrs. Standish with some scandalous letters, and is murdered soon after in his apartment. Mrs. Standish's brother-in-law to be, Harry Maitland, is suspected of shooting him, since he had gone to Barton's apartment earlier to try to retrieve the incriminating letters. A psychic is called in to hold a seance in order to determine the real killer's identity. It is revealed that Barton's Japanese butler was the guilty party. Although the film is more of a murder mystery, there are enough sinister goings on in the film to qualify it for the horror genre as well. ==Cast==
