Synopsis:
Featuring Gilbert Larose.

Excerpt:
"I had seen the wretch I was following participate in a brutal murder, and every instinct of good citizenship in me was insisting that he should not get away unpunished.... Perhaps we waited 30 seconds face to face. His lips had closed tight together, his shoulders had sunk a little, his head poised like a runner before a race, his hands—but then I pressed my trigger finger, and a .22 long rifle bullet crumpled him up."
