Publication history edit

According to the wikipedia article "The story was initially published as Traitor's Hands in Flynn's, a weekly pulp magazine, in the edition of 31 January 1925.[1]

"In 1933, the story was published for the first time as "The Witness for the Prosecution" in the collection The Hound of Death that appeared only in the United Kingdom. In 1948, it was finally published in the United States in the collection The Witness for the Prosecution and Other Stories."

Do we have any evidence that it was actually first published in Munsey's ? The iarchive source seems to be from a book publication. -- Beardo (talk) 05:13, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

I see that Flynn's was published by Munsey. -- Beardo (talk) 05:20, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
