The Federa l Bureau of Investigation has always welcomed every oppor­ tuni ty to assist law enforcement officials and to encourage a comprehensive and enthusiastic cooperation among those engaged in combating crime .

Many facilities of the FBI have been made available to law enforce­ ment agencies throughout the country ; the assistance offered by the Identifi­ cation Division , the Technical Laboratory , and through the preparation of crime statistics are well known.

The FBI has published, each month , the Fugitives Wanted by Police Bulletin , in which has appeared information concerning fugitives and articles pertaining to scientific crime detection or matters which might otherwise be of interest and assistance to the peace officer. Believing that the FBI can be of further aid to the law enforcement officer, the scope of the Fugitive Bul­ letin is being broadened to provide , not only a means of making nationally known the fugitives wanted by law enforcement agencies , but a national period­ ical of interest and value in the field of law enforcement .

In keeping with the extension of content , the name of the Fugitives Wanted by Police Bulletin has been changed, with this issue , to the FBI Law Enforcement Bul letin. It is intended that this publication should provide a clearing house for police officials regarding successful police methods , a medium for the dissemination of important police information , and a compre­ hensive literature pertaining to the scientific methods in crime detection and criminal apprehension.

It is hoped that the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin will serve in making available , to law enforcement officers everywhere , subj ect matter of interest to them and of aid to progressive law enforcement .

MISSING PERSONS

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has no jurisdiction under existing legislation to conduct investigations for the purpose of locating miss ing per­ sons unŢess the ir apprehension is being sought for the violation of a Federal Statute concerning wh ich the Bureau has investigative jurisdiction, or in which the location of a person is desired as a witness in connection with prosecution for violating of such a Statute. Frequent requests are received for investiga­ tion by this Bureau to locate individuals on behalf of relatives or friends where no violation of a Federal law is involved . For the information of all law enforcement agencies , attention is called to the fact that, wh ile the Fed­ eral Bureau of Investigation can conduct no investigation to locate such per­ sons, it will , at the request of law enforcement agencies, relatives or guard­ ians , post in the files of the Identification Division of the Bureau a missing person notice containing descriptive data including , when possible , finger­ prints and photograph of a missing person and in the event information is received indicating the whereabouts of the individual , the persons or agencies placing a request for such a wanted notice will be immediately advised.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT sa _ .. SA _. t £e.

Recently many fingerprint cards have been received in the Bureau 's Identification Division which do not contain the title and address of the con­ tributing officials, that is, the law enforcement agency forwarding the prints. It is suggested that extreme care be exercised in the proper marking of all fingerprint cards in order that replies thereto may be forwarded to the proper agency. It is also suggested that the name of the person whose fingerprints are submitted be printed or typewritten on the fingerprint cards in order to enable the said name to be read properly. 3

INSTALLATION OF A SINGLE FINGERPRINT FILE

FEDERAL BUPšAU OF INVESTIGATION

During recent years considerable attention has been given by ident­ ification offi cers throughout the world to the study of classifying and filing single fingerprints . This branch of the science of fingerprinting differs from the identification systems of Henry , Vucetich, and others in that each finger of the hands is given separate treatment and a classification attained for each digit through an analysis of the ridge formations appearing therein. After its classification , the impression of each finger (mounted or recorded on separate cards ) is filed separately, and it is thus unnecessary to have all the fingerprints of both hands to effect a subsequent identification .

The primary object, of course , of such a system is to file criminal fingerprints in such a manner that accidental or latent fingerprints such as may be found at the scene of a crime may be searched against the file in an effort to identify them . Incidentally , the deve lopment of the single finger­ print system tends to provide information which is frequently needed for the further extension and subdivision of fingerprints comprising a large collection under the Henry System. To this extent any Single fingerprint bureau may be regarded as a laboratory for further consideration of the more minute and in­ volved application of the fingerprint classification system.

In February , 1933 , the Federal Bureau of Investigation installed a single fingerprint system . Due to the voluminous fingerprint file now in ex­ istence in the Bureau, where the fingerprints of more than 3 ,000 criminals are received daily, it became necessary to confine this study to the fingerprints of a certain limited class or classes of criminals in order that the single fingerprint file thus developed might be most comprehensive without becoming too large wh ile in its constructive stages . After consideration, known gang­ sters and persons charged with the crimes of bank robbery, kidnaping , and ex­ tortion were selected as being of sufficient general interest to serve a prac­ tical purpose and yet prevent the file from growing too raridly while in the experimental stage . In these fields of crime recently entered by gangsters and their ilk, latent fingerprints often will be found to be quite' prevalen'ø , on extortion letters , at the scene of the crime , upon the abandoned şŠutomobile , at the rendezvous where the victim was h.eld if it be subsequently located, etc. On July 31 , 1935 , this file contained the. single fingerprints of 11,424 indi­ viduals whose names have been connected at some time in the past with bank rob­ beries , racketeering , kidnaping,' or' extortion. '1'his' constitutes' a total' of '114,240 single fingerprints which have already been classified and individually filed under the system.

Heretofore it has not been possible for the Federal Bureau of Inves­ tigation to receive latent fingerprints for comparison or search in its files unless the names of suspects whose fingerprints are available or already on record in the Bureau 's files, were furnished . The main fingerprint files of the Bureau contained on July 31 , 1935, 5,078,566 fingerprint cards and it WOUld, of course , be impracticable to attempt to examine the majority of these cards, Classified and filed under the Henry System, in order to attempt to find a fin­ ger impression identical with a single latent print. 4

With the installation of a single fingerprint file it is now possi­ ble for the Bureau to receive for search through this file latent finger­ prints found at the scene of a crime , particularly when such crime is of a bank robbery, kidnaping or extortion nature , and the Bureau invites the con­ tribution for search through this file of such latent finger impressions. When such prints are submitted it is preferred, if possible, that they be positive photographs reproducing the latent pr ints in the ir actual size and accompanied by a brief description of the nature of the surface upon wh ich latent prints were found , color of the background, and information regard­ ing the nature of the powders or chemicals which may have been used in the development of the latent pr ints. Such latent fingerprints will be searched through the single fingerprint files, and if not identified but susceptible of classification they will be filed in the Bureau for possi­ ble future identification as new criminal suspects are added to the file. If the crime is not one of bank robbery , kidnaping, or extortion the Bureau will be pleased to receive latent fingerprints in connection therewith, pro­ vided the names or fingerprints of suspects are furnished in order that the latent impressions may be compared with the fingerprints of such suspects .

Law enforcement officials who from the ir files can furnish names of gangsters or individuals who in the past have been associated with crimes of bank robbery , kidnaping , and extortion are urged to submit to the Bureau for entry in its single fingerprint file the names , arrest or commitment numbers, and fingerprint classifications of those individuals , in order that the Bureau 's file may be maintained as comprehensively as possible, on a truly national scope.

There is also ma intained in connection with the Single Fingerprint Section a bank robbery modus operandi file wherein is filed in formation con­ cerning the mode of operation employed in the robbery of banking institutions .

YOUR SIDEARM

Keep your gun perfectly cleaned and oiled. Inspect its mechanism frequently to see that it is in serviceable condition. Make certain that your weapon is instantly available for use. THE DIPHENYLAMINE TEST FOR GUNPOWDER

In view of the current widespread use of the diphenylamine test for gunpowder, this article has been prepared in order to set out for the information of law enforcement agencies the experience of the Technical Labora tory of the Federal Bureau of Investigation with respect to such tests. In recent years, considerable publicity has been given to chemical tests used by law enforcement officials in homicide cases for the purpose of de­ termining whether a deceased person was the victim of a murder or a suicide . The usual method has been the diphenylamine test . In this test the hands of the deceased person are coated with melted paraffin which upon cooling is peeled from the hands, the theory being that the paraffin will adhere to any particles of gunpowder which might have been blown back on the hand " from the weapon, if it was in fact. fired by the deceased . The surface of the paraffin which touched the hţnd would then be treated with a solution containing diphenylamine and sulphuric acid. "If gunpowder was present on the wax, its presence would be shown by the appearance of specks of adis­ tinct blue color, the normal reaction for nitrates.

The theory of the test is that the ni trate contained in gunpowder forms oxides of nitrogen at the "time of the explosion which become embed­ ded in the pores of the skin, particularly on parts of the hand exposed to the escape of gases from the gun . It also unites with the salts of the persŤ piration to form salts which readily react with the reagents used.

At the outset it should be understood that when this test is used and a positive reaction takes place, that is, specks of a blue color are found in the paraffin, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that some nitrate was present on the hand . In the case of a deceased person, whose hand gives a positive reaction to the diphenylamine test, it should be re­ membered that the deceased may have had on his hand one of a large number of substances with a ni trate content other than gunpowder. Substances Which give the positive reaction include :

Ammonium nitrate Ammo"nium molybdate Mercuric nitrate Potassium nitrate Potassium nitrite Silver nitrate Sodium nitrate Sodium nitrite Uranium nitrate Urine Nitric acid

From this statement, one might expect to obtain positive reac­ tions from the hands of miners who handle explosives, farmers or home gar­ deners using fertilizers, employees of nitrate, fertilizer, and fireworks plants, and in some instances chemists or pharmacologists. These facts should be kept in mind in order that a false conclusion that the deceased fired the weapon may be avoided. Such afalse conclusion would, of course, indicate a suicide in a case which might actually be one of murder. On the other hand , it is we ll to know the limitations of the di­ phenylamine test whi ch are due to the fact that in a great many instances one may fire a revolver or pistol without leaving any trace of gunpowder on the hand which may be detected by this test . The automatic pistol , of course , is almost completely enclosed and practically all powder particles are forced away from the hand of the person firing the weapon. The revolver has considerable space between the chamber and the barrel which permits a greater quantity of gas and other products of the explosion to be freed near the hand of the person firing the gun .. With the revolver , therefore, one would expect to find larger deposits about the thumb and forefinger. In spite of this possible escape of gas and powder particles , numerous tests

have indicated that a person may be found to give a negative reaction to the diphenylamine test even though he has fired as many as forty rounds of am­ muni tion. Consequently the mere failure to find a trace of gunpowder by the

diphenylamine test on the hand of a deceased person does not prove that he did not fire the weapon causing his death .

It should also be borne in mind that the finding of actual traces of gunpowder on the hands of a deceased person does not conclusively determine that he fired the weapon in question . It is possible that the gunpowder particles may have been blown on the hand directly from the barrel of the gun being fired at the victim . An attempt to shield the body by raising the hand would in some instances resul t in the implanting of powder particles on the hand .

Among the many laboratory tests made of the diphenylamine method , the one described below is illustrative of the usual results . Tests were performed on both the firing and idle hands of seventeen men following a course of five shots with .38 caliber revolvers using smokeless powder. Six of the men, all firing with the right hand , showed negative results when the test was applied to both right and left hands . One man who fired with his left hand showed negative results on both hands . Three of the men who fired with the right hand showed negative results on a test of the right hands , but positive test on the left hands which were not used for firing . One man who showed a negative result on the right hand when firing wi th that hand gave a doubtful result. on the left hand . Two men firing wi th the right hands showed positive results on the right-hand test and negative results on the left-hand test . Four men showed positive results on both hands when firing with the right hands only .

A number of experiments performed in the Technical Laboratory were directed toward the effect of tobacco residue on the hands of smokers . As a result of these tests , it was found that persons smoking in any considerable amount gave a positive reaction to the diphenylamine test when applied to the fingers and palms . This result would be expected , of course, in view of the presence of nitrates in the products of the combustion of tobacco .

In spite of the obvious impossibility of drawing positive con­ clusions from the diphenylamine test , when properly condUcted and with a full understanding of its merits and limitations , it is of some value in criminal investigations. 7

The following is a procedure for conducting the test:

Clean paraffin is mel ted and painted over the hand , particularly the palm and about the thumb and index finger. This is allowed to cool and is then removed by carefully roll ing the edges and peeling the paraffin, en­ deavoring to keep it in one piece. After the wax has been removed from the hand it is placed in a white porcelain dish or china saucer. As a precaution the use of enameled ware or other metal ware is to be avoided because of the action of strong acids on the metal . To test for the presence of nitrates, add a portion of a solution composed of the following :

Diphenylamine 1 gram Sulphuric acid C.P. (free from nitrates) 100 c. c.

If nitrates are present, a blue color appears on the paraffin.

In order to be sure that the test is being correctly performed , a control test is conducted. The melted wax may be poured over a small area, such as the bottom of a pan or dish and allowed to cool . The test solution is then applied to the upper surface. No color change insUlAes the examiner that the wax i tseH does not contain ni tra tea . In performing this test, cau­ tion should be taken to avoid any contact between the body or clothing of the person performing the test and the sulphuric acid, inasmuch as such con­ tact would result in severe bUrns .

No reported cases involving any attempt to introduce evidence concerning the diphenylamine test have come to the attention of the Bureau.

DRY SHOOTING

Proficiency with a revolver is attained only by practice. In the interest of economy, daily dry shooting piAactice is recommended as a substi­ tute for actual range firing . A good revolver is never harmed by snapping it when empty .

SEASONAL ROBBERY TRENDS

National po lice statistics compiled eince1930 , under the system of uniform crime reporting , indicate very distinct seasonal trends in the number of offenses of robbery . The low­ est number of offenses occurs during the summer months with the high paints occurring in the fall and winter . This seasonal variation is quite clearly portrayed in the chart facing this page .

The chart indicates that during October thťre gener­ ally occurs the beginning of a very marked upward trend in the number of robberies committed . Attention is cal led to this fact at the present time because it is thought possible that something may be done to reduce the number of robberies occurr­ ing during the fall and winter months. It is suggested that individual police organizations may find it desirable to ex­ amine records for their own communi ties to ascertain whether local trends fo llow national trends , as indicated in the above chart . Assuming that they do , the next step would be to make a further study of local records to ascertain the portions of the city in which offenses of robbery tend to occur most frequent­ ly. The records may be further examined to determine the time of day when such offenses are most likely to be committed , the types of individuals likely to be invo lved, and also to dis­ close further information which may be of assistance in plan­ ning preventive measures . In view of all the facts disclosed by a careful study of local records for prior periods, it may be possible to provide for more adequate supervision of certain districts during the times when offenses of robbery are most likely to be committed, and to apply additional preventive mea­ sures with the result that there may be a substantial curbing of the upward trend in the robbery curve during the ensuing fall and winter months . OPENING SESSION OF THE FBI POLICE TRAINING SCHOOL UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, WASHINGTON, D. C.

In attendance were:the Honorable Homer S. Cummings, Attorney General; J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI; Peter J. Siccardi, former president of the International Association Chiefs of Police and Chairman of the Advisory Committee to collaborate with the FBI on police training; John L. Sullivan, Chief of Police, Pittsfield, Massachusetts and Edward J. Kelly, Superintendent of the Rhode Island Police Department, : committee members; Hugh H. Clegg, Assistant Director in charge of the Police Training School; the police officers from state, county, and municipal police departments, atten­ dants of the first Police Training School, and a training class' of FBI Special Agents. SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE

A great number of convictions obtained in criminal cases are a result of thorough , and intelligent assembling of evidence by alert law enforcement officials . A study of the law will disclose that scien­ tific analyses of evidence in criminal cases has been reviewed in the courts throughout the country with the result that the courts have not only approved of the use of scientific methods in crime detection , but have gradually opened new fields, pe rmitting testimony and evidence of 8. scientific nature by expe rts who have made a disinterested, methodical study of the evidence .

Many cases involve a combination of various types of evidence developed in the laboratory and therefore a great variety of applicati ons of scientific principles to crime problems must constantly be borne in the mind of the investigating officer. In this respect much remains to be done on the part of law enforcement officers who sometimes fail to a.vail themselves of the scientific aids offered them .

The case of Magnuson vs State 203 N. W . 749, set out below, illu strates very well , the possibilities of applying a variety of scien­ tific principles to a particular case . John Magnuson was tried on a charge of murder for sending a bomb which exploded when the package containing it was opened by the addressee's wife .

"The wrapper on the bomb was somewhat torn and mutilated, but was preserved, identified, and offered in evidence as State's Exhibit A. The word "Marshfield" was misspelled, be ing wr itten "Marsfilld," the "h" and lien being omitted. Professor Stromberg of the University of Minnesota testified that this spelling was characteristic of one familiar with the Swedish language as was also the pronounciation "Mars" for "Marsh ." This fact led to the supposition that some person of Swedish antecedents had written the address. The only person known to have any existing enmity against Mr. Chapman was the defendant. He was also the only person 'of Swedish nationality in the district.

"From the pieces picked up about the Chapman home, the bomb was reconstructed and was found to be made of a piece of wh ite elm, about 14 inches long and about an inch and a quarter square, with a hole bored through the center, in which was placed a wagon bolt inside of a spring, wh ich could be compressed by pulling the bolt back . The contrivance was so arranged that when the bolt was pulled back and the spring compressed, it could be held in place by a trigger, wh ich trigger could be secured by tying down one end with a string. Around the bolt and inside of .the elm piece was a round brass tUbe, in which the bolt moved backward and forward . At the end of the square elm piece was a short piece of gas pipe , screwed on to the piece of elm, and connected' with another small collar made from a piece of gas pipe. At the end of the bolt was fasten­ 12

ad a small firing pin, and the firing pin wïs arranged so tohat, when the bolt was released by cutting the string that held the 't;rigger, the fir­ ing pin would strike the ,cap of the U. M. C. Remington 12 gauge shell. All the paper part of the shell was cut off. In contact with the U. M. C. shell was a detonating cap which was buried in the T. N. T., which filled

the ga.s pipe, so that when the U. M. C. C

"Shortly after ,the explosion, the , defendant' 5 premises were inspected and searched with his consent. Pieces of gas pipe, of brass tubing, and other materials were taken from his premises, including III bottle of ink from his home, and sawdust and from his work bench.

There was found on the premises of the defendant a complete mechanica.l equipment for working in wood and iron, including a work bench, pipe wrench,

monkey wrench, chisel, punches, planefJ, a thread cutter, drawing knife, hammer, blowtorch, files, hack saw blades, emery wheel and other tools,

and there was found also a box containing T. N. T. and empty T. N. T. wrap­ pers. There was also a lathe in the shop. T. N. T. detonating caps were found on the premises, and No. 12 U. M. C. Remington shells, the same kind that Vlere used in the bomb. A triangular trip or trigger was taken off the gasoline engine of the defendant on account of its resemblance to the trig­ ger found on t.he bomb. There were also found springs and other miscellaneous articles, and an exploded shell, which exactly corresponded with the shell found in the bomb, was found on the workbench of the defendant.

/I After the defendant was arrested, he made, at the request df the officers, several samples of handwriting and printing. He wrote the wora "Marshfield" five times, and each time left out the "h" and the "e." He, however, inserted two "l's" instead of one. At a later time he made other samples of his handwriting. 'fhis was after the employment of counsel, and after he had seen the original wrapper, and "Marsh" was correctly spelled.

"With these materials in hand, counsel for' the state set towork

to est,ablish the fact that the defendant was the manufact.urer of the bomb and therefore guilty of killing Mrs. Chapman. The handwriting '!,.lpon the package, together wi toh the admit,tedly genuine writing of John Magnuson, was ðubmitted to three 9xperts. Workini separately they all positivelyidenti­ fied the handwrit.ing on the package as the handwriting of the person Who wrote the admittedly genuine standards. In this respect their conclusions were undisputed except by the defendant and one VI. W. Way, of Milwaukee. A careful perusal of his testimony rather strengthens than disputes the con­ clusions reached by the three first-named experts. His cross-examination left his testimony in sLlch shape that it rather confirmed than contradicted the testimony of the other experts. His attempt to account for the resem­ blance between the writing on the wrapper and 'the admitted, writing of Mag­ nuson on t.he ground of "a.ccid.ental coincidence" cast great doubt upon' his conclusions.

"Under the microscope the writing upon the package showed that it was written with a fountain pen wi th a round point, similar to the pen of Ethel Magnuson, the daughter of the defendant. The inle us�)d in writing the wrapper, Exhibit A, gave the same reaction to chemicals as the ink i.n the pen of Ethel Magnuson. The .ink in the Magnuson house did not give the same chemica.l reaction, but it was discovered that Ethel's pen had been used by a schoolmate who used black inlc, and this blD.ck ink, combined with the ink which was found in the house, gave the special reaction. An analy­ sis of the glue used to fasten down the string disclosed that it. was La Page's glue. Magnuson had shor't1y before this· time used La Pa.ge' s glue in an attempt to repair a fountain pen for his son. Professor Arthur Koehler of the United States Forest Products Laboratory at Madison es­ tablished the fact that the sawdust taken from the defendant's workbench was of \',hite elm. This would not have been significant had not the de­ fendant denied that he had ever worked on elm wood in his shop in his life. He adrnitted having worked on oak. Under the microscope it appeared that the sawdust carne from hemlock, oak, and white elm. That part of the wooden covering of the bomb which rem�J.j.ned was white elm.

"The trigger on the bomb was compared with the trigger taken from the gas engine on the premises of the defendant. These triggers were analyzed by Professor David. Fahlberg of the University of Wisconsin. It was established that no two pieces of steel or iron are identical in a.ppearance unless they come from the same piece. When magnified and photomicrographs are taken of the crystals and formation of the metal, the photomicrographs differ very materially in two pieces of steel. The analysis showed that the trigger from the bomb had the identical crystals and formation of that obtained from the trip on the gasoline engine. 'rhe crystal grains of the metal wei-e compared, and the metals were etched and photomicrogl'aphs talcen after the etching. Different pieces of steel were taken at random, and photomicrographs were taken to show how the pieces differ. '('he surface of the two pieces appeared to be identical. The thickness was the same to one-half part. of a thousandth of an inch. The angle of the cut of the two pieces was the same to within one-tenth of a degree. Professor J. H. Mathews of the University of Wisconsin and Professor Fahlberg examined the two pieces of wrought iron which were found. They were found to be of the same size and to have the same photo­ micrograph. It also appeared that wrought iron is made in batches of lOe pounds. It would be highly improbable th›l.t t,wo pieces would have the same appearance unless they were out of the same batch. The two pieces had the same peculiar physical chan"4cteristics. They were from -l inch pipe and each had 14 threads to the inch.

"Two other exhibits were found, Y and O. 0 came off the bomb, and Exhibit Y was found on defendant's premises in his workshop. Both pieces were threaded on the inside. This was not necessary for the construction of the bombj hence the conclusion that they had been cut from a piece that the maker had on hand. They were also threaded on the outside. The photomicrographs disclosed the identity of these two pieces. Of this the experts were absolutely certain. The identity of the pieces were further established by the fact that they had the same diameter to a thousandth of an inch. The thread on the outside was 14 per inch, which is a standard thread.

The jury found Magnuson gu ilty of murder and an appeal was duly taken. Commenting upon the sufficiency of the evidence in affirming the decision of the lower court, the Appelate Court stated:

"We have set out the evidence with greater part icularity than would ordinarily be warranted under such circumstances, because it discloses what may be done by a diligent prosecuting officer who has an intelligent comprehension of the things that are necessary to establi sh guilt in a case of this importance. The gu ilt of the defendant is as conclusively estab­ lished as it is po ssible for it to be. It is scarcely conceivable that any jury could find otherwise than did the jury in this case."

Wilbur Taylor ; Arthur Adolph De­ Bussey DeBougainvi 11e Charles Vincent Maurice Pierrepont ; Maurice Pierre­ pont ; Arthur DeBussey Brockvi lle Charles Maurice Vinson Pierpont Court­ ney Hetherington ; Arthur Hetherington; Dr . C. Gouthey ; Dr . C. Darling ; Dr . Courtenea j Dr . Pierpont .

Photograph taken in September , 1934 .

The activities of the individua l whose photograph and al iases ap­ pear above were first brought to the attention of the Federal Bureau of In­ vestigation, United States Department of Justice , on September 15 , 1934 , when the Chief of Police at Birmingham , Alabama , notified the Bureau 's Bir­ mingham Office of the rece ipt of a complaint. that this man had possibly vio­ . lated the Wh ite Slave Traffic Act .

It appeared that in the fall of 1933 Hetherington professing to be a former doctor from London , England , converted after having been cured of paralysis by religious faith and then holding revivals in Birmingham , met the daughter of a respectable family there at a church to which he came to preach . After marrying the girl in December of that year , he continued his preaching at Birmingham until March of 1934 , when , expressing his intention of reverting to the medical profession, he obtained a loan of $1 ,000 .00 through his father-in-law for the purpose of opening a laboratory for germ culture and analysis , of wh ich he stated the South was sorely in need . He then journeyed to Chicago with his wife , ostensibly to purchase the neces­ sary equipment , and on March 11 , 1934 , deserted her there . From Chicago he proceeded to Santa Barbara , Cal ifornia, where in Apri l of 1934 he began hold­ ing Bible services at the International Church of the Four Square Gospel under the name of Dr . Courtnay Darling, and after a whirlwind courtship he married the pastor of this church on May 8, 1934 . During the religious ser­ vices he frequently discussed his relatives in England , claiming that they were wealthy and stating that if he could obtain the sum of $2 ,000 .00 with wh ich to travel to England , he would return with $15 ,000 .00 to be used for the improvement of the church . In response to his appeal one of the women parishioners gave Hetherington $1 ,600 .00 with which he purchased American Express Travelers Cheques and departed on July 1, 1934 , wi hout his wife for t Chicñgo , supposedly en route to England . Needless to state he failed to return . 15

Hetherington next appeared at Corpus Christi , Texas , in August of 1934 where , while conducting services in a Seventh Day Advent/ist Church as Rev. Courtney Gouthey , he met a young woman of that city whom he married in San Antonio, Texas on August 27 , 1934 . Traveling in Hetherington 's new Olds­ mobile Coupe , the couple visited several of the bride 's relatives in Texas and proceeded to Memphis, Tennessee, whe re on September 26 , 1934, he hurri­ edly deserted her, leaving his baggage behind , when he heard that the Memphis Police were making inquiries regarding him .

The transportation of this woman from San Antonio, Texas , to Memphis, Tennessee, was in violation of the White Slave Traffic Ac·ø , and prosecution has been authorized therefor by the United States Attorney at San Antonio.

The investigation has also disclosed that on April 5, 1933 , Hether­ ington , under the name of Arthur Adolph DeBussey DeBougainville Charles Vin­ cent Maurice Pierrepont , married a young woman at Houston, Texas . At this time Hetherington was conducting religious meetings at the Full Gospel Mis­ sion. He claimed to be a Frenchman , to have been born in Paris, France, of noble parentage , and to have served in the French Army as a Colonel during the War . In the latter part of May 1933 he traveled with his bride to Westlake , Louisiana , as a preacher of the Assembly of God Church. Wh ile there he ob­ tained sums of money from various parishioners for the express purpose of pro­ ceeding to Mexico, where he was to sell a large tract of land owned by him , the proceeds to be used to build an Assembly of God Church at Westlake . He re­ turned to Houston , and on June 27 , 1933 after borrowing a minister 's car for the purpose of visiting an official of the French Government then in Houston, he disappeared . The car was later found in Shreveport, Louisiana and Hether­ ington is presently wanted by the Houston police for its theft .

The United States Attorney at Houston has indicated his willingness to prosecute Hetherington for violation of the White Slave Traffic Act in hav­ ing transported his bride from Houston, Texas to Westlake , Louisiana and return.

Hetherington, under his various aliases , is believed to have married , swindled and deserted numerous unsophisticated women throughout the country, using the approach and methods indicated above . He is last known to have been in Birmingham , Alabama in November, 1934 , although he was tentatively identi­ fied at Los Angeles , California early in June , 1935 at which time he was be­ lieved to be driving a new tan coupe , make unknown .

The following is a composite description summarizing the informa­ tion furnished by the various persons whom Hetherington has defrauded :

CLUES IN CLOTHING

There are few articles that afford so many clues to the person­ ality, habits , and history of the owner , as clothes . Few articles better repay careful examination, which is in the main chemical and therefore work for a Criminological Laboratory .

Clothes may be considered under various aspects , for example in re­ lation to the nat,ureof the material of which they are made , their age and the state of repair and the stains , marks , dust and dirt that may be found upon them ; but there are other features , too numerous to specify , to be taken into account . Each case should be considered as a separate and special study .

FINGERPRINT SAFEGUARDS

The Sheriff 's Office at San Diego , California, recently submitted to the Bureau the fingerprints of 80 persons who were applicants for posi­ tions as Special Deputies. Six of the applicants , or 7.5% , were found to have criminal records in the Bureau 's files . One of these persons had re­ ceived a sentence of six months after conviction of violation of Section 141a of the California Vehicle Act . Another had been convicted of violation of the Wright Act, and a $100 .00 fine imposed . The other applicants had been arrested for such offenses as fai lure to provide, driving while drunk , vio­ lation of the National Prohibition Law , and grand theft . 19

COLLECTION OF SPECIMENS

In the collection of specimens to be transmitted to some other point for laboratory examination , there are two considerati ons desirable to bear in mind . From a legal standpoint , the prosecution, in order to be able to use a specimen as evidence , must be prepared to show the complete chain of its custody and to identify it with the place in which it was located or wi th the crime in an irrefutable manner. At the same time the detailed examination is of no value unless the spec imen is ma intained in such a condition that the introduction of new elements does not change its characteristics between the time of the collec­ tion and the examination . This last requirement is a practical matter which, however, has legal aspects in that the prosecution must show by competent evi­ dence that the characteristics observed in the detailed examination are those existing at the time of the crime .

Of these requirements , the first , that of custody , is facilitated through the use of proper seals on the receptacles containing obj ects wh ich may be marked, and through the marking of the obj ect itself, where this is pos­ sible. Bul lets, cartridges , weapons of all kinds , indeed any object on wh ich this may be done , should be appropriately marked by the person finding them . This marking is not , however, sufficient of itself, as it is further incumbent upon this person to give a complete description of the location of the specimen, the condition in which it existed, and its relation to other objects. The con­ ventional "X" scratched or marked on obj ects for the purpose of identification . is to be discouraged since it is seldom destinctive enough to enable an indi­ vidual to impress the court or jury that he is positively certain that he made the j,X" in question ; the use of the initial letter of the investigators name is better . There is one danger in permitting a spec imen to be initialed and that is that it may lead to abuse where certain experts have devel oped ameans of marking that practically forces the prosecuting agency to call them for tes­ timony . The name or initials of an expert , not called to testify, appearing on an object may lead to unnecessary explanations. The resourceful investigator will develop his own simple and effective method of marking for identification - and will record the symbol, and location on the evidence , when he makes up his personal memorandum .

In marking the specimen care must be taken to insure the fact that the mark does not interfere with the later examination . Bul lets , for instance, must be marked on the base - never on the side because it is the side wh ich is to be examined in detail. Conversely, cartridge cases should be marked on the side or on the interior and never on the base because it is the base which is to be ex­ amined . The marks placed upon weapons should not interfere with the examina­ tion of stains , discolorations or previ ous marks .

Movable obj ects of all kinds which are to be examined should be re­ moved bodily, and so far as possible placed in appropriate wrappings so that they will be preserved in their existing condition . This means that the wrap­ pings must be clean and of a character wh ich will preserve the objects from wet, heat , or other forces which they may encounter.

Liquids , stains , and similar substances , which are to be examined at another point should, if at all possible, be removed by a laboratory expert, for the reason that he knows best in each individual case how to r.andle the ao

specimen so as to protect it . Dried fluids present difficul ties because soak­ ed into surfaces on which found . " Nevertheless"; when it is impossible to ob­ tain an expert , the investigator must remove and preserve these specimens . AS each individual case presents a different aspect , he should remember the genera l rule to so preserve a specimen t,hat it remains in the condi t ion in which it is found . If the specimen is imbedded in wood , plaster , soil , or other ma­ terial of a porous nature , a sufficient piece of this material should be taken around the specimen in order to collect all of the specimen which may be pres­ ent even though to do so results in defacing some of the object .

If fluids and simi lar substances are so located that they may not be collected by removing a portion of the object , then they alone are removed . If the fluid is not complete ly dry , a 'chemically clean piece of blotting paper may be used to absorb it . ' The blot.ting paper after absorbing as much of the fluid as possible is placed in a suitable receptacle and labelled as if it were a part of the object, on wh ich the stain was found . If t,he stain is of suffi­ cient quantity and is only semi-fluid , it may be gathered directly into chem­ ically sterile containers . Glass containers and glass utensils for removing such substances are preferable to others . If they are not available , then ename lware or silver may be used .

If the stain is dried , it may be removed by loosening with a clean knife and scraping or brushing the particles into a receptacle . A perfectly clean brush should be used to perform each operation . If the stain cannot be scraped up a solvent is used , the stain dissolved and the solution collected. Distilled water or phys iologice,l salt. solution (.8 5% sodium chloride in dis­

tilled water) are the only solvents used by užm investigator when he attempts this method . Even though the substance may be composed of organic matter

which would spoil , no preservative or other material may be added to the spe­ cimen . If it is likely to spoil , it may be kept cold .

When searching for stains on clothing , the linings of the pockets should be examined . Similarly, fingernails , the crevices of boots , and the joints of weapons often yield stains even though the ma in portion of the ob­ ject has been thoroughly cleaned . Cleaning many times results in washing the stains j,nto crevices . Even though stains have been thoroughly washed from clothes or other similar objects , or , though the materials have been burned , they shOUld be preserved and further examined , because it is possible to get positive results from tests notwithstanding these conditions .

If the obj ect on which the stain exists is damp , it must be dried be­ fore being packed, to prevent mold . Artificial heat should not be used for such drying . If the stain is on plaster or similar material which would crum­ ble , the crumbl ing should be prevented by imbedding the object in plastiscine or a similar substance , taking care that the stain does not come in contact with the clay .

If specimens of evidence are collected and transmitted to the crimi­ nological laboratory with the precautions heretofore set out , the law enforce­ ment officer may be assured that the admissibil ity of the evidence collected by him will not be attacked upon the basis of improper handling . DACTYLOSCOPIC IDENTIFICATION OF CADAVERS

By Dr . Israel Castel lanos Director of the Bureau of Identification of Cuba

When a person is detained, on suspicion or accusation, thought is always given to the obtaining of his fingerprints . The police are always pre­ occupied in knowing his past , in discover ing whether he is a fugitive or a known malefactor. When a cadaver is floating on the waters of a river or found on the side of the roadway , with or without visible lesions , not so much thought is given to the fingerprints . And much less is the application of this method thought of , when a person is found in the state of coma , uncon­ scious or dying in a hospital in which he dies hours afterwards , without ut­ tering a single word . Before death it appears that the desire is lost or the social duty forgotten of knowing exactly who the deceased is .

In the United States, according to Elliot Thurston, there are in­ terred every year about 60 ,000 cadavers without identification . The greater part of these persons , who lacked penal antecedents , were buried without giv­ ing any data which would aid scientifically in identifying them . If some of them were insured , the ir families, through not being able to verify the de­ mise could not make the corresponding policy effective . And through years of uncertainty and increasing misery , they expect the loved one who never returns .

In the greater portion of the countries , in morgues and funeral homes , unknown cadavers are exposed for a period of 24 hours , as a means of facilitating their recognizance and identification . When the cadaver is not identified during the fixed period , it is taken to a common burial ground . There is a grave without a name and one more mystery.

Who was the deceased? This question , on an average , in the United States alone , is asked 5,000 times each month .

It is necessary that we preoccupy ourselves as much in the identi­ fication of unknown cadavers as of the accused and wrong-doers . Social pre­ vention should be as effective in the mystery of death as in the mystery of a crime .

Society, as a family, should be the IIl istress of truth and should encourage the avoidance of every danger to one of its members .

In our day we prepare an inexpensive method , simple and infallible, to identify the man from birth till death , that is to say , from the cradle to the sepulchre . If in any period of his life he is left unidentified and brought to a hospital , to an asylum , to a prison or to a morgue as unknown , it is because society , lacking foresight and unwise, has not fixed scientifical ­ ly the personality of the subj ect , through his perpetual and immutable ana tom­ ical name , substituting it for the unsteady and useless social formalities. 22

Dactyloscopy is not a system exclus ively for criminal use ; it is a system applicable to every phase of civil life ; it is , as Reyna Almandos says , a force aiding individual liberty wh ich not only enhances the human personality but also protects it from the error of a false identification . It is, in addition , a proceeding by which every grave can boast a name , since every man , living or dead , has on the fingers of his hands , his own . If this situation does not obtain, it is because society does not bother to tal(e it up .

The natural name , anatomical or anthropological , as some authors refer to the fingerprints , is easy to take in a living subj ect . In a cadaver it is necessary to know some techni que in order to do it correctly .

When there have elapsed only a few hours since death and the cada­ ver is perfectly preserved , the identification expert can proceed to take the fingerprints as though the subj ect were living ; but , on the contrary, when the cadaver is in a more or less advanced state of putrefaction, special technique is required , the degree empl oyed according to the case. In every circumstance the operator should ask these questions :

How can rigor mortis be overcome?

How should the finger tips be prepared in order to obtain a good impression?

How should the fingerprints be taken?

The ease wi tb which, after a few minutes practice , there can be obtained fingerprints from a living individual depends on the extraordinary movability of the terminal segment of the arm of a man . To accomplisb this four or seven hours after death , the rigidity of the cadaver , the wrist and the jOint of the fingers lack flexibility, resisting the freedom of movement and obl iging the expert to change the current technique for taking finger­ prints of living persons .

In effect , the cadaveric rigidity , wh icb disappears when putrefac­ tion becomes general , opposes the correct impression of the digital pulp and the obtaining of rolled impressions . The lack of movability in the joint of the wrist and in that of the fingers is what hinders the habitual operations of the identification officer. His first step, then , should be to overcome the rigidity of the hand and of the fingers , in order that he may be able to operate freely and rapidly .

When death is recent or the cadaver is perfectly preserved , after washing and carefully straightening the fingers we should firstly perform a series of rough and violent extensions and flexions of the joint of the wrist, afterwards of the metacarpal phalanges , and lastly, of each one of the joints of the fingers , commenc ing with the thumb of each hand .

Xavier da Silva , of Lisbon , who systematically practices dactylos­ copy on cadavers , recommends submerging the hand and a third of the lower part of the forearm in well heated water, for a duration of a minute or less, and , after straightening the highest. extremity of the fingers , repeating the 23

intense, rapid and continuous movements, from the wrist to the fingel's . The pro­ cedure of the Portuguese maestro is excellent in firm and well preserved cadavers .

But there are cases in which flexibil i ty of the fingers cannot be obtained, nor movability of the wrist , by which it is necessary in such cases , to resort to another technique which permits the expert to correctly perform his work . Stockis, of Liege , suggests in such cases, the cutting of the flex­ ure tendons of the fingers or the severance of the wrist . This last operation wh ich separates the jointed surfaces of the wrist , can be executed only by a surgeon , because , in real ity, it is a surgical operation. For this reason, it is not recommended.

The cutting of the flexure tendons in the fingers , although it ac­ tually constitutes a tenotomy, since it is an operation to sever determined tendons , is the most simple, and can be accomplished in a cadaver by a layman , provided that he has previously seen the incision or the cutting of the line of the wrist .

The cutting of the flexure tendons of' the fingers which can be done perfectly with a knife , gives the greatest flexibil ity to the fingers and al­ lows the expert to obtain the fingerprints in the most rapid, convenient and safe manner .

When there is a doctor , he , by means of a tenotomy or cut.t.ing the flexure tendons of the fingers ! endeavors to overcome the cadaveric rigidity

in order to obtain good fingerprints , ut. i lizing a narrow knife , mak ing a small incision and cutting the tendons below t.he skin , in which case there remains only a wound or a very small incision.

Once the cadaveric rigidity is conquered , the expert then preparìa the tip of the finger to obtain a good impression of them .

If the death is recent , and the cadaver well preserved , It 1S suf­ ficient to massage the pu lp before inking to procure a perfect impression . But , on the contrary , if the body is in a more or IHss advanced state of pu­ trefaction or mortification, softened or decomposed by water, the tip is wrin­ kled or furrowed by folds more or less exaggerated , impeding the obtaining of good fingerprints . In these ca.ses ther's is done what. De Rechter, of Brussels , calls the "plastic regeneration of the digital extremities" .

The complete elimination of the furrows or wrinldes of the digital bul bs is accomplished with extreme ease . The special technique for the plas­ tic restoration of the finger is based on the introduction of an adequate sub­ stance into the body of the tip. Rechter, using a Pravaz syringe , has inject­ · ed without distinction in the bulb, liquid vaseline , hot water, glycerine , melted paraffin and glycerine water. Gtockis asserts that he has tried all

these liquids with different results , so he l'ecommends the injection of glyc­ erinated gelatin. By this method one part of a hot solution of gelatin is added to seven parts of glycerine , and heating the mixture still further, it is injected into the fingers of the ca.daver . The elimination of depressions and the plasticity acquired by the tip of the finger facilitates the obtain­ ing of excellent fingerprints.

L-______--=______ __ ______ 24

The injection of the mentioned substances into the body of· tne' finger's , cannot be effected with very thin waten because at times this liq­ uid will flow out more or less slowly through the perforation made by the nee­ dle ,; If the .-liqUid is very thin,' as wate'r, it 1"8 more liable to drain away ; if it is very dense , as paraffin, the corpula should be more rounded -and the ''Opening in the skin much larger'. But .in 1912, Xavier da Silva , of Lisbon, made a defini t\3 sblution t'o the problem,' in a manner very rapid, simple , and economi.c, recommending the inJection of air through a very fine needle . Air, which has afforded the -best results " can be 'injected into the finger itself without any danger.

Xavier da Silva employs a Pravaz syringe of a capacity of 5 c.c. The charge of air f'orces thŕ embolus to receŖe :' In tl1e t,:inger of the cadaver 'the needle penetrates urytil it reaches the deTmis or the outer covering of·the skin, which is easy to recognize by .the fact that the least resistance is of­ fered to the penetration. The point of selection to inject the needle is the extremity of the longitudinal axis of each finger , some or 5 in front 4 rom. of the open edge of the fingernail .

The quantity of air to inject for the plastic restoration of each finger tip 'as"a means of obtaining a good impression , wi thout wrinkles or fur­ rows , fluctUates between and C.c. 1 It '1

When it is noted that the digital bulb is conveniently inflated , the needle is extracted rapidly and in a continuous operation a light massage is begun oveŗ the hole produced by it , in order to; close the perforation and avoid the egress of the air injected into the finger tip .

When the fingers have become flexible and movable and the depres­ sions , wrinkles and 'furrows eliminated from the digital bulb, the procedure is to ink the fingers and print them in the usual manner .

The difficulty of obtaining good fingerprints from cadavers has been the object of study by the experts , who conceived special implements and holders .

Mr . M. J. Wigman of Green Bay , Wisconsin has contributea. to ,the subject a small inking plate and a support to obtain fingerprints of cada­ vers . J. F. Steegers , of Havana , conceived a support , small anŘ eaři ly han­ dled, which has found splendid application in morgues and hospi tals . Xavier da Silva , of Lisbon employs a special support and finger holdeT exclusively for cadavers . H. Soderman , of Stockholm, utilizes a small wooden groove for this type of work . R. Heindel, of Berlin , points out that an expert of Stuttgart has constructed a special holder, which facilitates rolling the impression of the fInger . Some of this special equipment can be purchased in certain commercial houses . The expert , then, has different apparatus and instruments wh ich are offered for his consideration .

1 " 13ut , l everything which has been expElunded, refers only to ordinary cadavers , tJ1at is', commop corpses , whiyh are fingerprinted a feYl hours -after n demise , i ' a good state of preservation or with putrefaction scarce-ll be,gun. In cadavers of an advanced state of decompositio.n , in those QŚrnśd . . and in 25

those drowned, according to the length of immersion , the methods vary in each circumstance .

In drowned bodies, the skin of which has begun to rot away , Soder­

man recommends carefully cutting the skin of the palmar surface to a suffi­ cient length in order that all the elements of classification may be collect­ ed. The fragments of skin are placed in bottles in a solution of formaldehyde , using a bottle for the skin of each finger. Each bottle is labeled and all are placed in a small wooden box .

In Argentina , when all the papillary ridges of the outer surface are noted, the operator, who has covered his right hand with a rubber glove , places it on the respective fingers of the cadaver, the third phalange of which has been amputated, by which he can place the skin over the glove with a fin­ ger stall. When, instead of a sheath , only a fragment of the skin is prepared , the expert places it over his index finger and procedes as though he were ob­ taining his own rolled impression. This is the procedure current among Euro­ pean experts.

When the papillary ridges have disappeared from the outer surface , the fragment of skin is carefully mounted on cardboard , with the internal sur­ face turned towards the outside , in order to obtain the photograph . Stockis, the maestro of Liege , was the first to point out that when the inner surface of the epidermic pellicle is examined, a papillary design admirably preserved

is seen, which is a negative reproduction, such as a mold of the finger de­ sign of the other surface . The ridges of the cutaneous surface are here rep­ - resen-ted by the furrows of the pattern of the inner surface and inversely ; a bifurcation of the ridges on the surface of the epidermis will correspond , on the dermic surface to the extremity of a ridge which is traversed by a bifurca­ tion of furrows .

Reuter has noted the presence of this papillary relief on the inner surface of the cutaneous pellicle in numerous drowned cadavers : but he does not try to place it in evidence in all those cases in wh ich the surface of the epidermis is damaged, muddled or deteriorated . The idea, therefore , is due to Stockis, that when the skin, on applying the ink , only shows a blot without details, the inner surface of the epidermis, adequately photographed portrays a clear and perfectlY papillary dŜsign, which permits safe and correct identi­ fication .

The importance of the plastic regeneration of the digital extremi­ ties, as some put it, or the plastic restoration of the fingers , as others say , extends the period of the utility of fingerprints as a medium of identifica­ tion. De Rechter , of Brussels, ha.s been able to identify the victim of a, crime , after having them interred six weeks .

It has been shown , therefore , that with the systematic empl oyment of fingerprints, there can be avoided safely nameless graves .

Mr . M. F. Nuremberg , of Los Angeles, California, can identify through

the medium of fingerprints a man almost carbonized. 26

The papil lary des ign of the fingers , under the most unfavorable con­ ditions , in different a trnospheres , from exposure to the light of the sun to con­ cealment in the shadows , from the clarity of the plains to the obscurity of the sepulchre , from soaking with water to consuming fire , appear to resist all this j it is to be hoped that they can be assembled on a sheet of paper in order to certify by it the anatomical name of the deceased . It is hoped that finger­ prints will become what they actual ly are : an element of peace and social · se­ curity .

The expos ition of cadavŝrs in morgues and funeral homes , as we ll as the photQgraphing of unkown cadavers , satisfies ne i ther the layman nor the tech­ nician since one as we ll as the other knows that an altered countenance renders ' identification difficult and is conduc ive to er-ror. Heindl of Berlin , wisely ma intains that fingerprint ing an unknown cadaver should never be neglected .

Under . the direction of Police in Dresden, there was establ ished re­ cently a "Central Office of Corpses and Missing Persons " which primarily was limited to Saxony , but which later extended its activity to all German terri­ tory . Another analagous office has been created in Berl in. It is not known if there exist in other sections simi lar offices .

The Police Prefecture of Paris, when it has ' a cadaver, the identity of which has not been establ ished , begins by distributing il lustrated circu­ lars with the description and the photograph of the largest part of the person­ ' al articles of the deceased . ' The similarity of most of such documents as well as the increasing effectiveness of dactyloscopy , has motivated a special cir­ cular of the Ministry of Justice , in wh ich there is entered concerning each un­ known cadaver: 1st. The fingerprints taken as clearly as possible ; 2nd . the anthropometrical measurements; 3rd . the photograph of the front view and pro­ file , 4th . the description of the particular marks (cicatrices , tattoos , etc. ). All this should be done at the time of discovery and always before the autopsy.

In the morgues of Lisbon , Rio de Jane iro , etc . the fingerprints of unknown cadavers have been taken for many years . In the Necrocomio of Havana , dactyloscopŞT has been used in such cases for more than ten years' .

Nevertheless , it is necessary to do more , it is important that we strive in Ordel" that all ,unknoWn cadavers may be identified correctly , what­ ever their state of preservation may be or how natural are the circumstancies surrounding the dem:se . The fingerprint cards prepared wi ll have mu ltiple and important appl ications . They wi ll serve to formuiate international statistics on cadavers buried without identification , the number of which can be reduced to nothing by the universal use of dactyloscopy ; they will serve as verifica­ tion a.ny time , and lastly , they wi ll serve in ·many cas'e s to identify numerous ci tizens who die away from their family and far from their native soil . Finger­ prints are never odious . Only t.he man who ignores the morphological treasury which his fathers have placed in his fingers , abhors and de'øests them . He who knows that in his fingers is exhibited his true and inconfusable name , defends , embraces , and seeks them . This is the name that we should register from birth till death , since the appillary ridges always tell whom is whom in the world of men . 27

ELIMINATION OF SUSPECTS

Fol lowing the location of any latent fingerprints at the scene of a crime , tðe prints of all persons whose occupancy of the place under in­ spection has been for legi tima te purposes may usually be excluded from further inquiry. It is advisable , therefore , during the initial stages of the in­ vestigation where latent fingerprints are found to exist, to secure the prints of al l members of the household , the servants , and any other person .' who may have come into contact with the object . This , of course , must be done to find "strange" prints or prints of an individual who has not fre­ quented the room theretofore . It is sometimes necessary to take into con­ sideration the appearance of the prints when they are first discovered ; i. e. , whether they are c lear or a sl ight film of dust appears over them. Th is is important as a suspect may enter the defense that he was in the room legally at some time before the actual commission of the crime and may have touched the object under discuss ion then . 28

CLYDE MACK

ESCAPED PRISONER FROM NORTH CAROL INA ARRESTED UNDER AN AS SUMED NAME IN AR I ZONA , ON CHARGE OF DRUNKENNESS , IDENTIFIE D AND APPREHENS ION SECURED THROUGH FIN GERPR INTS FORWARDED TO BUREAU

The Superintendent of the State Bureau of Identification at Raleigh , North Carolina, notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation in July, 1935 , that one Clyde Mack was wanted for escape . Mack had been received at the North Carol ina State Prison in March, 1933 , to serve a term of six years for larceny and breaking and entering . He escaped from tha·ø institution on June 12 , 1935 . Being advised of his escape , the Bureau placed a wanted notice against his fingerprint record in the identi­ fication files .

A fingerprint card was received in the Bureau on August 5, 1935 , from the Police Department , Prescott , Arizona , reporting the arrest of one Claude Haygood by that Department on July 29 , 1935 , on a charge of drunken­ ness . These fingerprints were checked through the files of the Bureau 's Identification Division and it was found that Claude Haygood was identical with Clyde Mack , the fugitive from North Carolina . A telegram was dis­ patched at once to the authorities in North Carolina advising of the fugitive 's arrest at Prescott , Arizona . The Police Department at Prescott was notified that this subj ect was want,ed as an escape from the North Carolina State Prison . Upon the receipt of this report , the fugitive was turned over to the Sheriff 's Office at Prescott to be held for the North Carolina authorities . On August 7, 1935 , a State Officer from North Carol ina departed for Prescott to take the fugitive into custody and return him to the North Carolina State Prison .

This case is but one of mbre than 460 cases occurring during August, 1935 , in wh ich the Bureau ' s fingerprint records were instrumental in identifying fugitives who were arrested outside the jurisdiction seeking their apprehension , and on charges having no relation to their fugitive status . It is interesting to note in this case that although the subj ect was arrested under an assumed name , on a minor charge , and in a state far distant from the scene of h is escape , his identification as a fugitive and his apprehension as such were secured through the Bureau 's fingerprint records . It appears rather obvious that the most effective method of determining a subject 's complete criminal record and ascertaining whether or not a subject may be wanted is through constant adherence to the policy of forwarding fingerprints of all persons who are arrested to be checked through the central clearing house. of fingerprint data main­ tained by the Bureau. 29

ARTHUR KRELLER

APPLICANT FOR TAXI DRIVER 'S PERMIT IDENTIFIED AS FUGITIVE THROUGH FINGERPRINTS FORWARDED TO BUREAU

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was requested by the Prosecuting

Attorney at Lisbon , Ohio, in August, 1933 , to place a wanted notice in its fingerprint files for one Arthur Kreller , whose apprehension was sought on charges of auto theft . Kreller had been indicted for stealing an automobile in Columbiana , Ohio, on April 15 , 1933 , and all efforts to secure his ap­ prehension had been unsuccessful . Accordingly , a notice of this person ' s fugitive status was placed in the Bureau 's Identification Division.

The fingerprints of one Arthur Pieper were received in the Bureau on August 12 , 1935 , from the Police Department at Cleveland , Oh io. The finger­ print card ind icated that Pieper made appl ication for a taxi driver's permit on August 9, 1935 , and that the fingerpri.nts had been taken in connection with this application . These fingerprints were searched through the files of the Bureau 's Identification Division and it was found that Arthur Pieper was ident ical wi th Arthur Kreller , the individual wanted by the Prosecuting Attorney at Lisbon , Ohio. Accordingly, that official was notifiedr by telegram that the fugitive ' s fingerprints had been received from the Police Department at Cleve ­ land , Ohio, as a taxi permit applicant . Moreover, the Chief of Police at Cleve­ land was advised of the applicant 's fugitive status . Shortly after this infor­ mation was received from the Bureau , Kreller was taken into custody by the Police Department at Cleveland , Ohio. He was turned over to the Sheriff of Lisbon , and brought to that city for trial .

It is noted in this case that although the fugitive had applied for a taxi driver 's permit under an assumed name , his identity as the subj ect wanted at Lisbon , Ohio , was determined definitely by means of fingerprints . Furthermore , the Bureau 's files disclosed that he had been received at the United States In­ dustrial Reformatory , Chillicothe , in June , 1931 , to serve a term of two years for violation of the National Motor Vehicle Theft Act .

Law enforcement agencies in many cities are taking advantage of the

Bureau I s invitation to forward fingerprints of applicants for taxi driver I s per­ mits and for various types of positions to the Bureau so that each appli cant 's complete criminal record may be known . Indicative of the effective results that are being attained through this practice , it is observed that the finger­ prints of 65 applicants for chauffeurs ' licenses were received in the Bureau during August, 1935 , from the Police Department of a mid-western city, and criminal records were disclosed in 29 cases . Ten of these persons had served penitentiary sentences after conviction of such offenses as counterfei ting , forgery, larceny , burglary , violation of the National Motor Vehicle Theft Ac·t , highway robbery, white slavery and embezzlement . Four of the applicants had served two terms each in the penitentiary .

The value of submitting fingerprints of appli cants is well expressed by the Chief of Police in one city who stated that "this practice has been followed with amazing results , which has been . found to be of incalculable aid in ridding the city of undesirables and denying persons with criminal records employment in institutions where their employment would be a danger." 11 ROllERT BROVIN, a 5 11 ED BINGHAM, with aliases: 1 eAr witn ..388 : Vit I John Macon, Ed Bigham. 1 aT James R 10 2 1 Bro'Wn':, RODe!: t;.

"J . Edgar Hoover, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir:

"September 30th , at 12 :20 A.M. two of our Police Officers were shot and killed by a burglar whose identity is unknown . About six minutes previous a complaint was received at our headquarters that two men had broken the window of a Mus io Shop and were in the store committing a burglary . The complaint was put out on our police radio and the two officers responded to learn that the men had left the scene of the crime and escaped in opposite directions . Another police car responded at the same time , and each car made search in the opposite directions as taken by the burglars . One car bearing a uniformed sergeant and patrolman came upon a man carrying a small radio under his arm . As the officers jumped from the car to within a few f eet of this man each were fired upon almost simultaneously without an opportunity of drawing their revolvers , and one died wi thin an hour and the second followed in death the next day . The murderer escaped , but" he had dropped the radio that he had carried . The other burglal" , his accomplice, who left the scene of the crime as above stated in an opposi te direction " escaped the detection of the car that searched in the direction he had taken, and the small radio that he had taken is still missing. 52

"Vie have been furni shed a description of both , as follows : #1 . White , 25 to 30 years of age ; 5' 7 or 8, stocky; broad shoulders ; short neck ; heavy ; and he wore a dark suit, colored shirt , a light necktie much in contrast with the shirt ; light gray soft hat with a snap brim . This is the man who escaped with the radio un­ recovered .

"#2. (MAN WHO KI LLED OUR OFFICERS ) He is described only as sl ightly taller than No . 1; much 'thinner '. He wore a dark suit and a light gray soft hat .

"The radio stolen by No . 1 man , and still missing , is an AIR KING , 5 tube , table model ; color brown with a lighter color on edge ; about 6 x 8 inches , button on rear for short wave reception; two illuminated dials; Serial No . 12901 or 12902 is written in ink on a paper label that is pasted on the inside of the cabinet .

"An investigation at the scene of the burglary revealed that these two men had been in the doorway of Œhe Mus ic Shop for some few minutes. They attempted to force the front door but apparently could not . One of the men (No. 2) used the butt of a revolver to smash the l arge side plate glass in the front vestibule of the store entrance, making an opening sufficiently large enough for each to reach in and each to take a radio from the window. The smash was heard by near­ by parties who made the report , and by the time the police cars had arrived the burglars had left . It was at this point that the wi tness­ es informed the officers the various directions taken . A search at the Music Shop made subsequent to the shooting failed to reveal any physi cal evidence other than a pair of revolver grips , one of which was broken , and they were from a U. S. 32 revolver. The grips were evidently broken when the revolver was used in smashing the window , and we believe this is the gun used in the shooting of our poli cemen . Each policeman was felled with only one bullet , and both lethal bullets are of 32 cal ibre . They are now in the hands of our ballis­ tic experts who are conducting an investigation in this direction .

"The radio dropped by the killer was recovered by a detec­ tive sergeant wi thin five minutes after the shooting , and our investi­ gation has conclus ively proved that the only hands that touched this radio from t,he time it was received by the Music Shop from the manu­ facturer was the proprietor , the burglar , the detective sergeant , and our identification officer . The radio was examined at one o'cloc k that morning for latent fingerprints , and we were successful in de­ veloping at least one print the condition of wh ich we believe is wor­ thy of consideration for the purpose of identification . This finger­ print , including all finger marks , were immediately photographed and both contact and enlarged prints were made . A deduction was made by our officer that the print which we know to be the best , was left by the impression of the LEFT RING FINGER of the murderer . The finger impressions had been drawn , but this finger in particular came bet­ ter 'at rest ' than those adjacent . We classify it as an ulnar loop pattern with converging ridges about the core , with 15 or more ridges

53

from delta to core . For the purpose of collaboration, our officers consulted experts outside of our own department to secure an INDEPENDENT CONCLUSION and the conclusion furnished is decidedly that of our own---that is to the finger, the pattern, and approximate ridge count .

"These prints we believe are positively from the fingers of the man who killed our police officers . They were compared with the prints of the proprietor and the detective and in no way were similar . The proprietor informs us that about three or four days before the crime he had gone into the large window and dusted all articles including this particular radio, and he stated that this was his general practice as it was necessary in the handling of musical instruments that they be kept in presentable condition for sale . Our investigation into the latent print angle can lead us to no other conclusion but that the prints found were those left by the killer.

"We are enclosing contact prints ear-marked A, B, and C. 'A' is a photograph of the one we believe to be from the left ring finger, and the one most worthy of study . 'B' is apparently from the left index, while 'C' shows three from the right hand , deductively the right middle-ring and little . In the case of 'A' which print , like those along side of it, was drawn and the white horizontal line across the top marks the division so that all below it constitutes the LEFT RING FINGER PATTERN . Two officers in one day's time , in our file of approximately 10 ,000 prints , examined all left ring fingers in ALL NUMERATORS over ALL ODD NUMBERED DENOMINATORS , and a search fails to reveal an identical print . All femal es , all colored persons , all individuals over 35 years of age were readily eliminated leaving the search confined to those from 16 to 35 years of age , white in color, and in this respect only a small percentage had a similar type ulnar loop about this ridge count . In the search , due to the lack of much detail in the print , much consider­ ation must be given to the personal characteristic of the individual the comparison is being made with . We agree the ridge characteristics in the print are few--but the search would be a worthy one . Will you cooperate with us in an attempt to identify the killer of two of our best-loved policemen?

"We would appreciate a search of your files, and when your search is concluded I would most certainly appreciate a report of your findings or suspicions whether or not there are any within this category whom you might be dubious of , for in this respect our identification officer and this Department have been assured of the consultation, and the assistance of one of the best fingerprint experts on latents in this country .

"This crime has caused great concern to every policeman in this Department ; to the bereaved families of these brave officers, and to every publ ic minded citizen here and elsewhere interested in 'The Policeman ', and rewards already totalling $2 ,000 are now 54

be ing offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of this killer of policemen .

"Thanking you most kindly for the courtesy of your cooperation, for your reply of your find ings , and for any suggestions or information that you may extend to us , and assuring you of our willingness to supply you with any further details or information that you may desire and that we may have which might assist you ift such cooperation as we beseechingly ask , I am ,"

Very truly yours ,

Chas . A. Wheeler
