I recorded it earlier. Incidentally, it appears the villian Gus (veteran D. W. Griffith heavy, Walter Long, in some sort of blackface) was not trying to rape the white woman, but she got frightened anyway and jumped to her death.

‘was not trying to rape the white woman, but she got frightened anyway and jumped to her death.’

I think that scene was stolen from James F. Coopers ‘Last of the Mohicans’, where the bad guy was the Huron Indian Magua, and the jumper was one of the Colonel’s daughters. Where Cooper stole it from I do not know.
