All-Famous Police Cases #7
"Killer at Heart" recounts the 1925 crime spree of Paul Jawarski, leader of the Flathead Gang, whose armored car robbery netted $1,500,000 and marked an important step in criminal history. After a failed attempt to kill accomplice Sam Jawarski at a Weckawken mine near Pittsburgh, Paul fled but was recaptured six months later in Detroit, where he was executed by electric chair on December 29, 1931, while his associates Sam and Joe received long prison sentences. The issue also includes "Wanted for Murder," a true crime story about paroled criminal David Trask, who broke into a house in Hood River, Oregon on April 25, 1947, stealing jewelry, cash, and firearms before escaping.
