The 28 May 1910 Moving Picture World ran the following review: “A strong melodrama graphically depicting the struggle of a sheriff between favoring a woman whom he loves and whose husband he is hunting as an outlaw, and his sworn duty. Ultimately love triumphs and he permits the murderer to escape. The closing scene, a man's silent despair, is a dramatic bit of acting and is a fitting close to a good picture. This triangle of a hopeless love, stern duty and divine pity is the most trying that can beset any man, and one can sympathize with the unfortunate officer when he succumbs. Some of the scenery is novel, particularly the swamp, which is unfamiliar to Northern eyes."
The Kalem studio and officers were located in the Eastman Kodak Building at 235-239 West 23rd Street in New York City.
