Crime Must Pay the Penalty #2
"The Tri-State Murderer" recounts how Inspector Marshall of Scotland Yard investigated the murder of Henry Smith at Muswell Lodge, discovering that a stolen lantern with a homemade wick was the crucial clue that identified the killers as two London criminals, Milsom and Fowler, who had recently fled town under suspicious circumstances. "Walter Leganza" follows a criminal named Crowley who attempts to apprehend the fugitive Bennie Haas in New York, but Haas evades capture and joins the Hole-in-the-Wall gang, where he becomes involved in a thirty-thousand-dollar robbery that ultimately leads to his downfall when police close in on the gang's hideout.
