Authentic Police Cases #38

Authentic Police Cases #38 This issue contains two crime stories. "The Man Who Came to Murder" follows Detective Leo Cahill as he stakes out a fence's second-hand clothing shop to catch known criminals. When a crook named "Spots" Elwood arrives to sell stolen jewels, Cahill apprehends him, but Spots escapes and attempts to flee. During the pursuit, Cahill shoots and kills Spots, though Rutzie takes the fall and confesses to the murder to protect his brother Joe Reagon. Rutzie is eventually questioned and released when police find no evidence against him. The second story involves a criminal scheme where a man uses his girlfriend Marty to help him steal jewelry from her employer. The man threatens Marty while posing as a domestic worker and forces her to help him locate a jewel box in a safe deposit box at the bank. When Marty's partner catches wind of the plan, the criminal is apprehended before he can complete the theft.
