The first was a mans handkerchief of fine quality. In one corner were several tiny drops of blood, showing that the handkerchief had been used to stanch a very small k wound, such as a or a scratch or a pimple. The most Important find of all was on the Inner side of the door panel where the bloody Imprint of a thumb and three finaer tips was visible.

He can guess at I nothing. He must know. He can take nothing for granted. Each and every clew must prove itself before he can place any estimate on Its value. de- work. The poisoner Is cunning. He rarely uses poisons without infortring himself of Jhelr action, and the snse-quen- t traces of them that ma f be found In the body. He often learns of other poisons that will counteract the effect of the first poison. One of the first signs of morphine poisoning Is a contraction of the pupils of the eye. Yet one murderer was shrewd enotigh to use belladonna in the eyes of his victims to offset the contraction caused by the first polsou he administered. It is tricks of that character that the chemical detective must constantly guard against. When he begins his analysis he matches his brains against those of a cunning, desperate man who has taken every precaution he can think of to hide traces of his crime. That the chemist Is successful as often as he Is, is a tribute to science and a positive proof of, the value and need of a chemical department to work in constant cooperation with the detective bureau In solving crimes which, too often, are allowed to go on record as unsolved mysteries. tectives that the conviction of Carlyle Harris, accused of poisoning his wife with morphine, was secured. It was the chemical detectives that furnished the strongest evidence for the prosecution of Albert T. Patrick and many others. The chemical detective's work in tests requires a most expensive knowledge of the actions of various kinds of poisons on the human body. By carefully testing the blood he Is often able to tell the exact cause of death, the kind of poison used and how It wag administered.
