I just read Thomas Walsh's Saturday Evening Post story,
"Sentence of Death," in which a detective comes to believe he
may have sent the wrong man to Death Row. I did a google
search on it and came up with a piece Jim Doherty wrote back
in '98 http://www.mysteryreaders.org/Issues/NYC2.html
It's a good piece on the story and its background. I'd just
like to add, for Jim's benefit, that the story was also
anthologized in Alfred Hitchcock's collection "14 of My
Favorites in Suspense," in 1959. Additionally, it was
dramatized at least twice, once as an episode of the 1950 TV
series "The Trap," with George Reeves, Leslie Nielsen, and
Kim Stanley in the major roles, and then in 1953 for "Studio
One," with Betsy Palmer and James Dean in prominent parts.
It's a nice little story and I wish I could see one of these
dramatizations.
