Crime Fighting Detective #19

A man named Hale schemes with bar owners in Osage County to create a false Indian trade operation as a front for robbery and theft. After establishing the business and building up capital, Hale targets a jewelry store, holding up the owner with a water pistol, but is caught and sent to prison. Years later, a parole board hears Hale's case, where a prison warden warns that Hale's wife believes her husband will kill her if he's ever released, as he knows she would never break the law again—a threat the board takes seriously in deciding his fate.
