1949-04-01 · 37 pages

This anthology issue presents multiple crime stories based on actual cases. "Showdown in Abilene" recounts a frontier marshal's confrontation with a gun-toting renegade during the lawless days of the American West, set in 1875 at a Texas cattle ranch. A second story follows criminals who execute a elaborate train robbery scheme near New York, stealing ten thousand dollars from a bank account and engineering a train accident to cover their tracks, only to be apprehended when picked up and questioned. A third story depicts a con artist hawking a fraudulent "miracle salve" to gullible townspeople, claiming it cures ailments, before the scheme is exposed as a robbery racket targeting wealthy victims.
