Headline Comics #27

This issue contains two stories from the "True Famous Detective Cases" series. The first story, "Crime Never Pays," involves Detective Clark investigating the shooting death of a man named Moran, with the key clue being that the killer's gun did not fire—suggesting the shot came from elsewhere, possibly hidden under an overcoat. A suspect named Johnny Wittig is identified as the perpetrator. The second story features a séance conducted by a spiritualist medium who claims to contact the spirit of a deceased soldier named George Tillman, using hidden stage tricks including a trumpet operated by a spring mechanism and a reflective panel under the table to create the illusion of supernatural contact.
