Crime Does Not Pay #30
The issue contains multiple crime stories. The cover story depicts gang violence on the East Side, where Monk Eastman's mob battles for control, with a shootout occurring at a bakery. "The Praying Corpse," a true crime story by Dick Wood, follows Inspector Collins as he investigates the murder of a Newark shoe store clerk, using the clue of distinctive quadruple-A sized shoes to solve the case and identify a dancer as a key witness. An additional story features criminals fleeing in vehicles with shooting and conflict in a rural setting.
