Prize Mystery #1
An anthology of mystery stories featuring "Lie Detector," in which a newspaper reporter's claim to have witnessed a monster emerging from the ocean is investigated using a lie detector machine to verify his truthfulness; and a science fiction tale involving military generals and a time machine that allows them to observe and potentially alter past events, culminating in a courtroom drama where a man is found guilty of a crime but later pardoned after public outcry and evidence suggesting his innocence. The issue promises $100 in prizes for readers who solve the mysteries presented.
