NOVEL SCENE IN COURT
Professional Gambler Recog-

Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER. B. c., July 2S.-Iden-
tification by recognition Of a hand in
stead of by facial peculiarities is the
latest method of applied evidence, sub
mitted to-day in a hold-up case now
proceeding in a Vancouver court.
On July . w. II. Quann, bookmaker
at the Hastings races, three miles out
side of the city, was stopped by a
masked man and robbed of $4,000.
Guam was unable to see the man s
face, but took a good look at his revol-
YER hand. He told the police that If he
ever saw the hand again he would be
able to recognize it, Sam Mcdonald,
who formerly lived in San Francisco,
and recently a professional gambler of
this city, was arrested later and
charged with the hold-up.
To-day the police put Quann's hand
theory to a novel test.
A large curtain was brought into
court and holes for six pairs of hands
were cut. The prisoner and five other
men were ranged behind the curtain
and put their hands through the holes.
Guam was brought in and confronted
with the twelve hands in the row, be-
ing unable to see their owners. Unhes-
itatingly he picked out the hands of
Mcdonald as those of the man who
held the revolver al his head.
