Western True Crime #2
"The Roundup of a Thief!!!" depicts a criminal named Sam who steals money from a poker game and flees toward Mexico, with a sheriff and posse in pursuit. After Sam is captured and lynched by a vigilante, the story concludes with an ironic twist as the posse discovers that Sam was actually innocent—the real thief had hidden the stolen bank money, leaving Sam to take the blame and die for a crime he did not commit.
