Justice Traps the Guilty #22
Justice Traps the Guilty #22 An anthology of true crime cases adapted from police and FBI records. The lead story features a criminal scheme involving a talent scout racket, where a man plots to murder a kid and frame him to take over the business. "Closeups" presents multiple short cases: Jules Gagnon murders his mother and brother with a mind reader's help before confessing; Carl Logan's repeated boasting about his innocence while driving a stolen car leads to his arrest; Roger Bailey threatens people while attempting to sell stolen museum pistols, only to be caught by recovered photographs of diamonds; and a female Chicago police officer shoots a thief after he steals her handbag. Additional cases cover a mining engineer's dynamite mishap, an Arizona prospector's mining deception, and a Colorado woman's recovery of lost diamond rings through photography.
