CASE OF THE LIVING CORPSE——————————-85 Sheila’s face suddenly went slack with horror, “Oh! Look out!” Kendall whirled to see Garvey charging him like a maddened mon- ster. The awakened, bloody-visaged brute smashed his fat body against him—grabbed for the gun. The gun roared. Ed Garvey halted in his tracks, a blank look on his flabby face as he clutched at the hole in his chest. And Kendall felt the floor jar under his feet as Garvey collapsed. Kendall bent over him, then rose. “I don’t think you kids will have anything to worry about now,” he said wearily. “Garvey needs an under- taker—not a lawyer.” BIG CASH AWARDS FOR CAMERA FANS Now is the time to get in on America’s greatest hobby— amateur photography.
