HOW CRIMINALS
ARE TRACED.


Not many years ago Frenchman, one
Alphonse Pertillor, who had made a life
long study of criminclogy, perfected
system of Identification that has since
been adopted by the police departments
sof every large city in the United States
and number of the European cities.
This system is perfected to such
point that a man can be identified by
brief Geographic description, and the po-
lice of this city have recently adopted
system whereby it is only necessary to
know the Number of the description to
ascertain whether or not the man is in
the local gallery.
There are over twenty distinct features
by which a man who has been measured
by the Bertillon system can be identi-
fed. There IS accompanying the system
a set of apparatus, complicated and SIM
PIE at the same time. Innumerable

Patrick Murnane, who is an expert in
the work The gallery here which is at
present undergoing renovation will con-
tain in the neighborhood of 1900 pictures,
and the books and records will cover all
the minute details mentioned above in
connection with the system.
A large room is set aside for the sys-
tenn at the central police station, and it
is in this room that the police and coun-
ty attorney study the criminal history
of the men that they arrest and try for
crimes against the commonwealth.
The system works in all its perfection

charts accompany the apparatus. cover
ing even the most minute details of a
mans appearance.
The primary measurement is, of course,
the height All measurements are taken
in the metric system, and if a man S
height reads $50, an expert in the sys-
tenn has Immediately clew to the mans
identity.
Then comes the measurement termed

with his back to the board and his arms
outstretched and the points from the tip
of one hand to the tip Of the other is

measured. and goes down perchance, $50.
The prisoner is then seated in a chair
built especially for the purpose and his
height in a sitting posture is measured
This makes a second record of height,
but the originator was not satisfied with
that, and the man is placed fiat on a
table and measured while lying down.
thus the bureau has three measurements
of a mans height.
To students the average criminals head
is the most interesting feature of his
measurements. A fine compass manu-
featured for this purpose is used and two
measurements of the skull are taken.

uneasily on the boastful words he had

little company of dragon soldiers, who
rapidly proceeded, with military step
and precision, along the bed of the
ditch in a southerly direction.
But several minutes later, to the
amazement of both lads, the party
swerved sharp to the right and halted
at one of the massive gates in the wall.
They were promptly admitted by SEN

followed a quick march across quar-
