Crime Incorporated #2
This anthology issue contains two crime stories. "Sucker Bait" details various confidence schemes operated across America, including the false arrest racket where swindlers pose as authorities to bilk victims, and the trip con where accomplices abandon travelers at roadside locations. "Segregation" describes the prison practice of isolating dangerous convicts in separate cells to prevent them from communicating with other inmates, though it notes one convict managed to smuggle a knife into his cell despite these precautions.
