HUMAN FINGER PRINTS.
Possible Drawbacks TO Their Value
in the Identification of
Criminals.

The constancy of human finger
prints has chiefly been discussed in
connection with the identification Of
criminals. Assuming that the evil
dence of finger prints is to be admis.
sible in criminal proceedings, it viii
not only be necessary to prove that
in the case OF the same man the fin
ger prints remain unaltered but that
no two persons have identical finger
prints. Where is the evidence OF
this?
There are probably 1,5oO,O00,00t
men and women on the earth. Can
we suppose that no two of these have
identical finger prints? Nor indeed
is this all. We may be comparing the
finger prints o. living man with
those of one who has been found
dead for years past, and the doctrine
of heredity might lead us to expect
to find similar finger prints in the
case of parents ana children, and OF
different children of the same pa.
rents. 1t is, at all events, certain that
If this finger print system were once
introduced into our courts of justice
there would be any amount of wrang.
ling as to whether they were identi.
cal or only similar-expcrts contra.
dieting each other and involving the
whole subject in confusion, says w.
II. s. Monck, in knowledge.
Moreover, professional criminals
would probably soon finu some mode
of altering their finger prints. No
doubt il the person VINO committed
a crime murder, for example
has left the imprint of his fingers
on anything it may prove an impor'
tant clew; but the same thing may
be said of the imprint of his boots
or shoes. But clew is one thing and
a proof is another thing.
Let me point out another Difficult.
ty. In country where there are
large number of criminals whose fin.
ger prints are collected, the number
of these will soon be very large. How
long would ~ take to examine this
collection in order to find out wheth-
er any of them corresronded accu.
rately with the finger prints of the
man who is now accused? The task
would, ] think, be a hopeless one.
That finger prints may be impor.

no two persons have undistinguisha-

never to be permitted to outweigh
