Crime Detector #2
The issue contains at least two stories. The first involves a "daring jewel robbery" where a newspaper headline alerts authorities to initials "MM" found at a crime scene, prompting detectives to investigate; the story progresses through a series of stakeouts and confrontations with armed criminals at Riordon's door. A second story features a criminal named Barnhouse who reflects on his ninety-nine-year sentence at Alcatraz, recounting his past crimes including bootlegging from Canada and aviation schemes, before federal agents apprehend him during an escape attempt.
