The tempter whispered. Let him go,

DETECTIVE PHOTOGRAPHY.
Cases in Which the Camera Has Come
to the Aid of Justice.

Photography is every year proving
its usefulness as friend Of justice
and enemy of crime. A writer III lit
Bits describes a case of diamond theft
II Calcutta, in which no evidence
against the arrested person could be
found. A policeman familiar with the
articles of the native criminals sug-
gested that an X-ray photograph be
taken of the mans throat. The test
revealed the hidden diamond. BY a
trick which Hindu jewel thieves learn
after severe practice. the fellow had
''side-swallowed" the stone.
A little more than a year ago some
evidence that smugglers in BuenOS
Ayres were receiving gems through the
mails put the authorities on the watch.
Postal matter in transit could not be
legally opened. but on suspicion sixty
six registered letters and parcels were
examined by the N-ray, and found to
contain twenty thousand dollars worth
o. precious stones. The dishonest traf-
fc was stopped. and large sum was
saved to the customs revenue.
A person taking long-diStance views
from one of the upper windows of L
tall building in Rochester. ~ Y.
caught the picture of passing mar
ket-wagon with a man behind in the
act of lifting tub Of butter from the
load. The thief got away with his
booty unnoticed by the driver or any
one on the street. but the photograph
when sufficiently enlarged, identified
and convicted him.
A marine view taken by a passenger
on a foreign steamer in the harbor of
Rio de Janeiro included small yacht.
Two men, Grayson and Linares, had
gone out in the yacht that morning.
Only Grayson returned alive. He said
his companion had fallen from the mast
and been killed: but his story was not
believed, and he was tried and SEN
fenced as a murderer. The trial had
been pretty fully reported in the pa
pers and one day it occurred to the
photographer to apply powerful glass
to his picture, In order to discover the
character Of a small dark mark on the.
sail. Under the magnifier the spot on
the sail proved to be the figure of
falling man. He reported his discov-
cry and as soon as it had been Off
cially verified Grayson was released.
A similar timely discovery was made
after the village tragedy known as
THE Cooper Murder" in Lancashire,
England. Cooper, apprentice to Nc
Kenna. a blacksmith. was found dead
on the floor of the latters shop. and
the coroner's jury brought in a verdict
of suicide. An amateur photographer
who had been through the village TAX
ing snapshots" on the day of Cooper's
death. developed his films and one OF
them showed the smithy with a par
tial view of the interior through the
open door, revealing evidence which
caused McKennas arrest-and his final
confession of the murder.
Complaints are heard against the
camera as nuisance. and undoubtedly
the owners sometimes abuse their priv-
lege, but cases multiply in which its
use is beneticent. and even its acct
dental work proves valuable.

GENOESE MILK PEDDLER.

The always meek and serviceable
hurrO. which is invaluable as a pack
animal in mountainous regions, it put
to good use In certain parts Of Italy,
where he is employed to good advan-
tage by the mlkmen. The picture
shows a Genoese milkman. whose bur-
70 is laden with a basket containing
the tactical fluid of trade. The burro is
naturally slow moving ''critter," and
it is evident that the dealer with a
large patronage is obliged to get up
pretty early in the morning in order to
make his deliveries before breakfast.
