In delirium before death, Ned confesses the fraud and reveals the blackmail.

This is overwhelming as she is victimized by the street people with whom she associates. After a record number of recidivisms in the local jail, the court places Mary Beth on probation and arranges employment for her as a housekeeper for the mayor.
