provided by the Internet Archive  a"The Light that Lies" by George Barr McCutcheon is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Sampson, who is a successful and affluent man that has consistently evaded jury service, which he views as an annoyance to his otherwise busy life. However, circumstances force him to finally serve on a jury in a high-profile embezzlement case against an elderly defendant, James W. Hildebrand, accused of stealing money from a company he once led.  The opening portion of the novel introduces Sampson as he grapples with the implications of his unexpected role as a juror. Despite his earlier distaste for jury duty, he finds himself reluctantly intrigued by the case as it unfolds. The narrative details the atmosphere in the courtroom and introduces key characters, such as the defendant and his granddaughter, Alexandra Hildebrand. As Sampson prepares to deliberate on the evidence, he is struck by the complexity of the case and begins to question his own biases and sympathies, particularly as he becomes aware of his growing feelings for Alexandra. The tension mounts as the unfolding trial forces Sampson to confront both the moral dilemmas of the justice system and his own emotions.
