Measuring Hairs In MURDER Case

Methods by which experts como to their
conclusions are always interesting, partic-
ularly i'll serious cases, like murder trial.
where the decision reached may bo mat
ter of life or death. In tho case of the old
woman, Mrs. Charlotte Saunders, who was
murdered Mt Coney Island, Il Brooklyn OK
pert has been endeavoring to decide to
whom belonged the hair found CRASHED in
her hand when sho was discovered. 1t was
stated when tho hair was sent to the OK
port that he would be able TO tell Wbothc;
1t was that of n man or a woman and fur
thcr that it was to be examined by chem.
list. Ihero is nothing chemical i'll the OK
animation, and there is no way of telling
whether tho hair grew on tho head Of !,
man or a woman. The examination in this
case was lnado by measurements. With the
ana OF microscope and "a micrometer hair
from tho head of the woman, that found
III her hand, that of thG accused man and
OF others who might hayo been connected
with tho deed was all carefully measured
Tho result showed, as will be announced
III court when tho trial is taken up again,
that the hair in tho hand was moro nearly
llko that on the woman's own head than
any of tho other samples offered. AS for
telling the difference between the hair Of
Il man and woman, only /. guess ut 1t
can he made on general principles. the OK
ports say. Tho hair of II man is likely to
DO coarsor and stronger than that of II
woman. This may be due, IL is further in
icrrcd. to tho constant exposure of most
men to winds and weather But, mt the
Same timc, - man is occasionally found
whose hair is finer and softer than that of
the majority of women.
