Justice Traps the Guilty #13
This anthology issue features multiple true crime stories based on actual criminal files. The visible stories include a tale of a warehouse fire where investigators uncover a quarter-million-dollar loss and must determine if arson was involved, and "Tony the Peddler," in which a shrewd judge sets up an organized operation to catch pickpockets operating on New York City streets, eventually trapping the criminals through careful planning and surveillance. Additional stories promised in the 52-page issue include cases involving a 1949 train robbery, dog-napping criminals, and a rat trap scheme, all presented as exposés of real racketeering and criminal activities solved by law enforcement.
