Mrs Nhehrinan's Eye.
jamestown, N. Y, Dec 2l.-Photo-
graphic science may have given the first
tangible Glow TO the Identity Of the mur-
derer Of Mrs Shearman and Mrs. Davis.
Several have been the suspects and the
clews followed up without SUCCESS but
the impression of the murderer has been
found on the retina OF Mrs. Shcarman' s
eye. The photograph was taken by Fred
5. Marsh, local photographer, and to
him Is due the credit of having originated
the Idea of examining the organ.
The existence OF the impression OF the
murderer on the eye was first discovered
by means Of powerful microscope I'm
fortunately the features OF the man could
not be seen, as the view obtained shows
only the back and a very little Of the side.
An apparently big man Is represented,
with bushy whiskers and wearing long
overcoat Tho trousers appear to be badly
wrinkled.
The coroner has taken out both the eyes
Of the murdered woman, and another pho
tograph will be taken by slSilledsphotog-
rapher No impression was discoverahle
on Mrs Davis eyes. The funeral Of the
