It appears that there were at least two pulp magazines called Headquarters Detective.  This was a version that ran for 8 issues in 1936.  And then there’s the better-known version that ran from 1940 t0 1955.  As you can tell from the covers, both versions told the same type of true crime stories.  The covers definitely emphasized the sordid aspects of the stories within.
