Crime Illustrated No. 1

This pulp magazine issue features adult suspense crime stories in illustrated format. The primary story, "Fall Guy for Murder," involves characters named Josh and Cal plotting around hidden gold, with Josh fearful of Cal's discovery of a sack. The narrative includes domestic tension with a character named Ruth and references to police involvement. A secondary story titled "Farewell to Arms" appears incomplete in the OCR but involves financial hardship—a woman struggling to support herself and two sons with limited money, and mentions of a character named Harold and questions about a person named Fred. The OCR is substantially degraded, obscuring plot details and character motivations, though the general trajectory suggests crime complications and domestic economic distress.
