Justice Traps the Guilty #9
Justice Traps the Guilty #9 An anthology issue featuring true crime and FBI stories. One story follows criminals Sutton and Bassett as they plan and execute a series of robberies, stealing approximately $40,000 from various targets including a fence and their hotel, before being caught by authorities. Another story recounts the historical case of Norman Williams, a man accused of murdering his pregnant girlfriend Alma Nesbitt; despite evidence suggesting his innocence—including a blood-stained burlap bag containing animal remains and a lawyer's argument about lack of corpus delicti—Williams was convicted and executed by hanging in Oregon in 1905, with the narrative implying a possible miscarriage of justice.
