Method Of Determining the Origin O,

lIethod Of Determining h Origin o,
Blood Stains.
In trials for murder It is often Of
the first Importance to determine the
origin of blood spots found on cloth.
ing, weapons, etc. Do they come from
human blood, or firm that Of animals,
is the question asked. Recent expert
ments have shown that If red blood
rpuscles-leucocytes-from any ami
NAL are introduced into the blood Of
another animal the serum of the lat
ter acquires the property Of destroying
other corpuscles Of the sort subse'
quently introduced. This specific prop
erty Of the rum can be utilized as s
test in m%edico-legal matters. Tt
carry out the test it is necessary tt
have at hand serums already treated
with the red corpuscles Of the blood
Of sheep, cattle, fowls, etc. Each ont
of these prepared serums will destroy
the red c%orpuscles Of one kind O.
blood very quickly. The sheep serum
will, for instance, destroy red corpus
cles of sleeps blood in a minute or 50
and its. effect on the red corpuscles O
. any other blood Is very much les
rapid and effective. If then, in an!
special criminal case, the accused de
clares that certain blood stains on hi
clothing are spots Of sleeps blood
and not Of human blood, a decisive tes
can be made by treating this blood b!
the serums previously prepared by tn
introduction of the red corpuscles o
the blood of different animals. If tn
serum previously prepared by the in
PRODUCTION Of sleeps blood at ono
dissolves the stains found on tn
clothing Of the accused then his ple'
was correct and the stains did, in fact
arise from the blood of a sheep. l
the serum SO prepared does not rapid!
destroy the stains his statement l
false. By trying other serums, pre-
viously. prepared, me can be foun|
that Will dissolve the stains on tn
clothing and in this way the origil
of the stains can be quickly and sure
ly assigned. This procedure, pro
posed by M. Ladislas Deutsch of Buda
pest, is apparently destined to be o
great service in many criminal trials
