Rogue's Gallery - Favor For A Condemned Man - 41
Summary
Rogue visits condemned man Mike Royal, who cryptically reveals that an angel will hand him the stolen Marist jewels. Rogue is subsequently kidnapped by Mike’s accomplices, Madge and Joe, who force him to reveal the location. Rogue deduces that the "angel" refers to a sign at the Cherub Club, where Mike hid the diamonds in the figure's hand. He outsmarts the criminals and recovers the jewels, allowing him to claim his share of the reward and secure a future for Mike’s daughter.
