HUNTING CRIMINALS.
. FINGER PRINTS HAVE GREATLY |
AIDED DETECTIVE WORK.
Thousands of Identifications
. Made by Its Instru-
msntality.
Brooklyn —“Pudd'n head” Wilson's
wonderful detective work based on
thumb prints was only a creation of
Mark Twain's pen. and many people
who haw read the book or walched
Frank Mayo play the part on the stage
have looked on the idea as beiug far-
fetched or impossible Yet the police
are doing the same thing every day In
the present workaday world.
Some of the greatest crimes have een
férretted out with the assistance of fin-
ger prints. So absolutely sure is this
method of detection that it has become
a part of the police routine in France
and England
It will no doubt be a surprise to most
readers that the finger print system has
been In use in oriental countries for cen
turies. For hundreds of years the wily
Chinaman has insisted that the lines
of a person's hand shall be lmpressed
upon his passport or other important
document to make a transfer of the doc-
ument an impossibility. For UUme im-
memorial the custom in Japan was to
have all state papers bear the red-bued
impress of the mikado's thumb. This
made it {mpossible for ambitious poll
ticlans and treasonable statesmen lO
issue edicts and decrees iu the pame
of their imperial master
Forgery is impossible In the lands
where fluger prints are used as signa-
tures. The Hindoos found this out be-
fore America was discovered, and they
put the fluger print system into ude,
making a man put the Impress of his
thumb on every deed, document or paper
of any importance, When the English
conquered their country the Hindoos
still insisted upon having the tudisputa
ble and unchanging attestation of their
finger prints affixed to all papers of Im-
portance
It was not until 80 years ago that the
English people saw the true value of
finger prints. Forty years ago Sir Wil
M BERTILLON
(French Anthropometrical Expert a Con-
vert to Finger Priot System
Ham Herschel was struck with the atll-
ity of the ancient Hiundoo custom and
Sir William tried to have a law compell-
fog all persons concerned in the sale or
purchase of land affix their thumb prints
to the deeds of transfers and other legal
documents
Charles Darwin's cousin, Prof. Fran-
cis Galton, was the first to antoutce fo
the English world the value of finger
print evidence in detective work. He
was at one time president of the aAl-
thropological section of the Britidh as
sociation, and had studied the question
for years
“The chances of two persons’ finger
prints being alike are one in 64, 000.000, -
000." declared Prof. Galton, After Prof
Galton produced his evidence the Eng
lish home office revised its method of
fdentifying criminals
Here 18 something simpler and more
certain than the Bertlllon anthropome-
tric methods A new department was
opened at the registry of habitual crim-
inals at Scotland Yard The finger
prints of all prisoners convicted for cer-
tain classes of crime were to be taken
before they guitted the respective goals
and sent to Scotland Yard, where they
would be examiped, classified, jndexed
and fled.
Last year 5000 |dentifications were
made by its instrumentality. The fig-
ures this year probably will be more
than double “In no single instance,”
sald [uspector Collius, lo giving evi-
dence the other day, “was the result
challenged. The fluger print system has
robbed the alias of its utility; the man
of many names and many crimes can no
longer successfully plead hunger, des-
peration and a first offense. His fluger
prints betray him.”
Many dangerous criminals have been
traced and brought to justice by the
voiceless witness of their finger prints
M. Alphonse Bertlllon, the French an-
thropometrical expert, has become a
convert to the fiuger-print system Ber.
tillon says he got the foundation of his
finger-print knowledge from the Eng-
lish, Aninterviewer asked him recently
if he thought the science of measure-
ments would ever supplant the scletice
of finger prints.
“No,” he answered. “| think the hu-
man ‘measurement system will supple-
ment and assist the finger-print system
fo the ultimate marking down and tab-
ulating of practically every known or
potential criminal in the civilized world
The sister sciences will go hand in hand
The science that Is based upon the fact
that each different individual has among
his bones certain characteristic shapes
and dimensions will march forward In
unison with the science which arises
from the circumstance that the finger
prints of practically everybody are dif-
ferent from the finger prints of anybody
else. Both these truths and the appli
cation of them In every day criminal
search and detection have been of enor-
mous service to us ju France and have
helped to rid respectable society of many
bf the buman harplies who prey upon IL”
