Show German Criminal Catcher. Herr Eugcn Pass has hit upon n elaborate method of alarming tho Inhnbttants of n town whenever any groat crime has been committed, In order to prevent the escape ot the criminal. His Idea Is to erect In all tho most public parts of tho town booths containing a table, writing materials, tolephono nnd electric bolls, and lu front n largo board for tho display of tho notices. As soon ns a crime Is committed n bell Is set ringing, which calls tho nearest near-est policeman, who Is Informed tele-phonlcnlly tele-phonlcnlly of tho details, nnd those ho promptly writes down nnd places thorn on tho display board, so that ho who runs may read, Thus, within a fow minutes of tho purpetrntlou of a crime, a public huu nnd cry Is raised, which It Is hoped may end speedily In tho capture of tho criminal. |
