Jehn Klein, City Hall Expert, Says Destiny Is Clearly Marked
in "Whorls" and "Leeps" Insanity Alse Distinguishable
A person's nature cnn. te n cer

gerprints, and when n child Is born the
possibility of bin cemmltlng criminal
offenses when elder cnn be ascertained
by the snmc method, in the opinion of
Jehn Klein, n fingerprint expert nt City
Hall.
Mr. Klein gave further opinions en
the theory of Prof. Ilelnrich Pohl, the
Uerlln fingerprint nutherlty, who gees
se far ns te say that a person's des
tiny Is clenrly marked en the tips of
the fingers.
Prof. Pohl declares that with
further study of fingerprints an insnm;
person, or the possibility of one be
coming insane, ran be clearly defined.
Prof. Pohl. who has studied thou
sands of finger tips, also asserts that
racial differences nnd inanv ntliw
curious facts cnn be brought out by
study nleng this line.
remnitntlng en the subject, Mr.
Klein said :

denotes the opposite a cool or non nen non

Miny Criminals Eliminate
"On the ether hand," continued Mr.
Klein', "we find that persons who have
been arrested for crimes thnt de net
lequlrc n daring act have invariably
possessed morn loops or arches than
whorls. Women, for Instance, as n
rule de net commit such daring crimes
as men, nnd only a small percentage 1
of them possess move whorls than !
loops.
"I have also noticed that many men.
nllheughcrimlnnls, hnve n 'liuly-llke'
manner about them. Their fingertips,
I hnve noticed, read almost like a,
woman's, nnd these men usually were
taken bv the law for' offenses that
could be committed without much

" Future Ite
Itevcalcd
"Frem these observations I think it
is possible te ascertain the future
nature of n person when he or she
is only nn infnnt. Fingerprints remain
the same from birth te death. If a
child is found te possess many whorls
you can bank en the fact that the
child will grew up into nn excitable
person, and, if necessary, be combat
able. "If we were te take a child pos
sessing mnny whorls in his fingertips
nnd put him Inte a refined household
nnd in the cempnny of children with n
cooler nnture we would seen notice the
difference. It would be much harder
te 'keep the stranger down' than te
keep the refined children from doing
mischievous acts. And when the child
finnlly matures this nature Is mere
nroneunced than ever."
Concluding, Mr. Klein declared that
with further study along the almost
unworked field of fingerprints he thinks
it net improbable that- wc will be able
te detect future insanity.
