Outlaws of the West #59
"The Last Stand of the Moody Brothers" depicts a gunfight during the pre-dawn hours where the Moody Brothers make their final stand. Martha Illig, the only visitor allowed to see one of the brothers in jail, learns the jury has been picked for a trial to be held in a saloon. A marshal named Alden is sent to support the farmers' claims, but the story ends with references to the brothers' escape attempt and conflict with law enforcement in town.
