Crime Does Not Pay #68

Crime Does Not Pay #68 is an anthology issue featuring multiple true crime stories. "On the Level" by C.H. Moore follows a woman detective who uncovers a check-forging scheme involving a criminal using duplicate checks from a furnace company, and her investigation leads to the arrest of the perpetrator. The issue also includes several shorter crime factlets, such as Bert Ross receiving a 13-year prison sentence for a crime, vacuum cleaner dust revealing an international spy's true identity, and a Brazilian murder solved by snapshot evidence that cleared an innocent Englishman. Additional brief accounts document the theft and recovery of a New Rochelle police patrol vehicle, and Roy Landor's arrest for repeated candy store thefts in Los Angeles.
