Fishermen! 'This Is The World's Finest Fish Catcher!" By Paul Stag Th Weekend Fisherman MYSTERY Murder V-J Day on A young girl celebrating peace meets violent death, and the only clue to her killer is so obvious the police almost overlook it By WILLIAM T. BRANNON His fellow workers knew little about him except that he had a great interest in girls. His last address was a small hotel, but he had since checked out. The search went on. When Engle eventually was found, he admitted he had been interested in the attractive Phyllis, but insisted she had refused to give him a date. He gave a detailed account of his movements the night Phyllis died, and they proved to be true. He couldn't have murdered the girl. Without A lead, Chief Rogers got out the records and studied the statements given by various witnesses. In the middle of one, he stopped and reached for the telephone directory. He made several calls and carried on brief con versations. Then he summoned a detective. "Kinney's our boy," he said. "Bring him in." Charles Kinney repeated his original statement and denied any knowledge of the murder of Phyllis. Chief Rogers wasn't impressed. "Search his room," he ordered. Detectives made the search and returned with two sig nificant items: one was a receipt for extra sawdust Kinney ordered after Phyllis had disappeared; the other was a pillowcase stained with lipstick that had been tossed in the laundry hamper. Confronted with these, Kinney confessed that he had met Phyllis as she returned home, and she had stopped in his apartment to chat. They became involved in an argu ment, and Kinney had lost his head and smothered her with the pillow. ' He had hidden the body -in the ice bin and )hen ordered extra sawdust to make sure it was well-covered until he could dispose of it. Kinney was convicted Nov. 23, 1945, and sent to prison. Before he was led away, he asked Chief Rogers: "Why were you so sure I was guilty?" "There was a big hole in your story. I called all the book stores, and you hadn't been in . any of them that night." "How could they say that?" "Easy. It was V-J Day, remember? All the shops in Vic toria, including the bookstores, were closed that night" Fumlly Wtekly.June It, I960 How would you like to catch more fish than you ever caught in your life? How would you like to catch fish when they're not biting for other fishermen on the lake? How would you like to stop coming home empty handed ? I've been fishing for over twenty-five years. I've tried just about every kind of lure I've ever seen in a store or in an advertisement. And just like you, I found that they caught some of the fish some of the time, but most of the time they caught nothing. But now I have found an imported lure that catches fish better than any lure I ever used ! I've caught fish time after time when other fishermen have come home empty handed. I've caught fish on the Vivif when even live bait failed! Vivif has caught fish for me at all hours of the day ... in all kinds of weather. This amaz ing lure made fish bite. And now I've gotten the exclusive rights to introduce this lure in America and I'm out to prove my statement : "This is the fin est lure ever invented." A T ranch Invention This amazing lure was invented in France by a French sports man who named it "Vivif." He spent years testing other kinds of lures on fish and watching how they reacted to each lure under water! Who ever did that before ? From those years of testing this Frenchman de veloped Vivif . . . the patented lure with the "Live" tail. When he started selling Vivif in France it became one of the 750,000 VhfH lures Alrmady Bming Used I Seldom if ever has a fish lure received such an exciting reac tion from fishermen. Amazing catches have been reported. In England Vivif holds a British record! In 25 foreign lands Vivif is catching fish like magic. Already reports from fishermen in this country are coming in . . . reports saying Vivif is the greatest lure they have ever used. Fishermen in 25 countries can't be wrong. "Vivif is the finest lure I have used in 25 years of fishing!" most famous fish lures in Eu rope ! Soon its fame spread to 25 foreign lands! In came in credible reports of how Vivif caught fish. Vivif holds a British record in England. It has made amaz ing catches in other countries. Last winter I started im porting Vivif to America. I gave it to expert, experienced fishermen to test. They report ed, "We didn't believe it but it's true. Vivif caught fish when other lures failed." That's what hard boiled experts say. But even more important to you is what other average fish ermen say. Here's a typical let ter . . . from Mr. Robert Hilton of Jacksonville, Florida. "I have used artificial lures from Can ada to Florida and have worn out four spinning reels. The VIVIF. is far superior to any lure that I have ever used. The day I used Vivif the bass were not biting, even on live shiners. I caught 6 bass on the lure and then lost it to a large bass. The bass broke water three times trying to throw the lure after he broke my 12-pound monofil ament line." From everywhere come their reports of how Vivif makes fish bite like magic ... of the magic appeal it seems to have . . . of how it out-fishes and out catches any lure they have ever used. Why is this true? Frankly I don't know. AH I know is that Vivif is different from any lure you ever used. It's the world's most lifelike lure in the water. It starts moving like a live minnow the instant it touches the water. And it is pure magic with bass, pickerel, pike, trout and other game fish.. Think what this means to you. Now at last you can catch just about every kind of fresh water gamefish and panfish as well as many salt water fish. You can do away with digging for worms, catching bugs, frogs or minnows. You can cast, troll, shore fish ... all with equal success. You can go out after . . . and come back with large-mouth bass, small mouth bass, pike, pickerel, perch, trout, and walleyes and do it time and again without previous experience and wheth er you are an expert fisherman or using a cane pole ... or your money will be refunded at any time!
