Famous Crimes #3
This anthology issue presents two crime stories from police files. The first story, "From Police Files," depicts criminals planning a roadside robbery and murder, which is thwarted when police intercept them; the perpetrator George Sitts is eventually captured and executed in the electric chair on September 27, 1946. The second story, also titled "Famous Crimes" and credited to police files, follows a criminal enterprise involving robbery and murder, culminating in a police raid where the criminals attempt escape but are ultimately apprehended.
