YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD t HYRUM PINGREE, Mgr. The Aid of Photography in the j Detection! of Crime. Photography as a branch in the detection of crime in recent years to such an extent that it has attracted the attention of police departments all over the United States. Its usefulness has Impressed the heads of police departments as it has come to be generally used, and Its adaptability to many purposes has been discovered by experience. Lately the subject U being studied so carefully that It can be only a matter of a few years until criminal photography will he among the sciences. Its use in connection with the deciphering of handwriting la peculiarly interesting here at a time when the government of a state, so to speak, depends on the opinions of handwriting experts In detecting bogus ballots. The system of photographing and comparing signatures has been carried to such a point In the courts of the east that It is admitted to be almost Impossible for a mistake to occur when that method Is followed. While the police of Denver have as yet never used photography to any great extent In connection with their work, its usefulness Is conceded, and various Instances are pointed out in which it might be ap- l has-grow- plied effectively. Perhaps the most recent Instance In which photography was called Into requisition was In the case of Samuel Emrlch, lately & city detective, who was tried for the murder of William Malone. A few days after the killing occurred, Emrlch had a photograph made of himself, showing the wounds he received In the flghL Knowing that these would heal before the time of the trial, he had the picture made to prove to the Jury hie contention of self-defen- In some of the eastern rltles. however. photography Is recognised as one of the best means of gathering and preserving evidence, and in Boston the court photographer Is an official regularly provided for. Some of the cases In which photography has figured go to show that It Is practicable to detect crime through the use of the art, and It has even been known for evidence for conviction in capital cases to be secured in this way. Pictures of finbrain. "Why, do you think there U any- ger prints have sometimes furnished the evidence needed, and the photothing the matter with his brain?

Best, who murdered a farmer named Bailey at Mnaa., was procured by the Tea has more to do with Sagua. photographing of bullets found in the dead man's body, which were proven your thoughts at table than to have been fired from a rifle found in Bailey's house. Best was employed by anything else of your fare? Bailey, and after the disappearance of the latter, he for a long time diverted TEA $2.75 to $85.00 suspicion from himself by plausible excuses. Finally, in a pond, was found a portion of a mans body, identified aa Bailey. From it two bullets were ex- tracted. . The bullets were purtilly mushroomed by striking bones, but on the Intact surface were found peculiar markings. A new bullet was procured and shoved through the barrel of the rifle, and found to have acquired the same markings as those previously fired. Photographs of the two seta of bullets were made and matched in such a way that the markings were found to be prec isely Identical. Best was convicted and electrocuted. Equally Important was evidence secured in the case of Lorenso Barnes, accused of the murder of Farmer Dean at Maynard in 1895. Dean was found in his house hacked to pieces. Beside him was the ax with which the crime had been committed. Bloody finger prints on the ax were photographed, and, after the arrest of Barnes, impressions of the tips of his fingers were taken in soft wax. .These were also photographed, and when a comparison was made it was found that the lines were exactly alike. The custom of the jury visiting the scene of the murder has been dispensed with to a large extent through the agency of photography In taking pictures of rooms where crimes have been committed. (Photographs of Interiors frequently give & very different Impression from what la gained by an Inspection of a room, a fault that Is due to the use of wide angle lenses by photographers in order to get as much of the room Into the picture as possible. This difficulty has been obviated by resorting to the expedient of constructing a small model of the room. Pictures' are first taken of each of the walls separately, so that the exact dimensions and appearance of each is secured. A model is then constructed of cardboard, on which the pictures of the walls are pasted, with markings indicating where the body was found, the doors and windows and points of the compass. This has been done so perfectly as to answer all purposes during a trial. One of the most difficult of all questions for an expert to decide is that of forged or real signatures in handwriting cases. No person ever writes the same hand at different tlmea,'Herauae the temperament of the writer changes the style of Ms hand. A man in anger writes differently than when In a normal condition, or when he Is In a hurry he will not write aa he would when he had plenty of time. However, photography has come to the aid of the expert In this branch, through the use of enlarged trans parencies. Two signatures, one genuine, the other supposed to be forged, are placed one directly over the other, so that In scrutinizing them the examiner could see both at one time and instantly detect. the slightest difference or similarity at much greater aa vantage that If they were placed side by side. The eye la a lense of very limited angle and its scope Is limited, unless the objects to be compared are at a very long range. When signatures are being compared, the eye must first examine one and then the other, and during this time the opinion la likely to j change with the view. This difficulty is obviated by the use of the enlarged , transparencies. i Parker Coal Go. OFFICE AND YARDS MOVED TO 27TH AND PACIFIC AVE. ! BOTH 'PHONES.
