Badge of Justice #22

A detective investigates the theft of $200 from the Hilliard Bros. firm and discovers that the money was stolen by Harry Kobler, a trusted employee embittered by his son's death in wartime and financial hardship. Through careful detective work—following a money trail involving a misdirected envelope with fictitious postage sent to South America—the detective traces the crime and apprehends Kobler. The story illustrates how a clever criminal's scheme ultimately unravels when exposed to proper police investigation, with Kobler finally captured after attempting to evade authorities.
