But the fact was that as far back as 1880 MI

Detectives Aided by Science.


From the Glasgow Herald
1t has been said that the gravest issues OF
human life often hang upon the merest chance,
and certainly the story OF science and crime illus
trates to the full the Justice this contention For
instance, in 1906, Mr.. Blight, OF Deptford, was
fatally wounded by a pistol shot. Sir Ashley
Cooper, the famous surgeon, was called In TO at
tend the patient. The case was one OF mystery,
but Sir Ashley, by the exercise OF scientific obser-
walton, convinced himself that having regard to
the situation OF the wounded man at the time OF
attack, his assatlant must have been a left-handed
person. Mr.. Patch answered to this description
and as he was asked to plead to the indictment
on being brought to trial, up went his left hand
This fact, aided by other evidence served to con-
vict him. and he was duly executed after having
confessed his crime. Equally curious was the ex-
perience OF one stuart, so called who was charged
in London. In 1884, with being an escaped convict
The prisoner was duly sworn TO by the prison on
The real stuart was known TO have had a wen or
small growth on his left hand. The prisoner could
call witness for the Defense and the recorder
about TO sum up on the case when q Mr.. Carf1ne, a
surgeon, who happened by chance to be present In
court, begged to be heard as witness He tesli-
ned that II Stuart once had q wen, either that
growth should he found on the prisoners hand, or
In rs place the scar left by its removal should be
visible. Both hands OF the prisoner were found
free from growths or scars, and his acquittal duly
followed. The impartiality OF science is eQualed
only by its accuracy, and It is satisfactory to
cord that equally In ts pursuit OF the criminal and
In - advocacy OF the innocent It can point TO
many veritable triumphs In our courts OF law.

wear anything else but diamonds Some time last
August he bought a diamond ring at a store on
