BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.
odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
inence In aInrder TrinIr.

The important part played In many
murder trials by a flattened and mis-
shapen bit of lead or steel, once In the
form of a bullet, often leads to the de-
yelopment of some curious facts, says
the Baltimore American. A leaden bull
let will lose apprecIably in weight by
being fred. and the ferm OF the barrel
may tend to reduce its size. In rifle
some OF the lead is taken OF by the
grooves. The friction also heats and.
tends to partially melt the outside of
the ball, and because of this It changes
fits shape in the air.
One peculiar fact about bullet Is
that It win very often make wound of
entry smaller than the projectile itself
even in SO brittle substance as glass.
Another strange fact about bullet is
that It will often pass through inter
yening clothing, making hole that can
hardly be noticed. and yet carry ON its
point a circular piece of cloth. The car
rying of bits of clothing, hair or dirt In
to wounds in such manner greatly
enhances the dangers of peritonitis.
Were 1t not for this latter contact the
bullet would not be nearly SO danger
GUS. as its rapid flight and heating
make It practically sterile.
Blackened edges, of wounds are more
likely to have been caused by lead
bullet, although the ball with lead tip
could also produce this result. Regard
ing powder stains, smokeless or other
wise. nothing of great value is to be
gained when the shooting occurs at
distance greater than twelve or fifteen
feet. AT recent trial doctor stated
that from powder marks ON the face
he judged that the shot had been fired
at distance of not more than three
feet, which conclusion was later backed
up by the assertion made on the stand
by the prisoner himself.
