History:

(Tessie the Typist I#7/4 (fb) - BTS) - Maggie McGinty was a criminal who was wanted by the police for arson, murder and speeding.

(Tessie the Typist I#7/4) - When Maggie McGinty's mob sent her to tail Vandervan, a millionaire, they accidentally picked up Tessie Tender, who happened to be an exact double for Maggie. Maggie waited for her accomplices to pick her up, but Tessie eventually led to their being arrested by the police. Maggie was approached by Skidsy Spencer, Tessie's boyfriend, who had mistaken her for Tessie. When Skidsy came up to her, Maggie punched him in the face and told him, "hit the road, squirt!" Soon after, Maggie was arrested by the police.
