Disclose Notes: Cover bears the ANC stamp.
The dialog on the cover corresponds to 2 of the 4 stories:
Call Sam Hill to the stand!
Careful what you say, Sam! My boys will be watching you!
Tell 'em to listen real close, too! They'll hear the whole truth...and nothing but!
If we do, you'll never leave that witness chair alive!
(Does not correspond with any story inside)

He's asleep, all right, only it's permanent!
(Corresponds with Twice Murdered!........Once Dead!)

You're beautiful, baby...but you'll fry the same as any murderer!
(Corresponds with Twice Murdered!........Once Dead!)

Calling all cars! Pick up Sam Hill...wanted for murder!
(Corresponds with .22 Caliber Caper)
