Has this hair test solved any murder
mysteries as YETI"
Many. In a recent German case the life
of a suspected murderer literally hung
upon hair. Two men were suspected of
the crime. but only a single hair found
upon the clothing OF the victim. supplied
the connecting link. 1t was photomicro-
graphed with samples from the heads of
the suspects. but the pictures when
printed showed marked differences in
structure and tint. Then hairs from other
possible suspects were subjected to the
same test, with equally negative result.
Then the expert referred TO his classifi
cation and after checking up q series of
tests concluded that the hair found upon
the victim was from an old yellow slick
coated dog. Following this clue, he found
that one OF the suspects had owned just
such a dog. fresh hairs from which con-
formed in every detail with that found
upon the corpse. and upon this evidence
the owner Of the dog was held. He final
ly confessed that he alone committed the
crime.

Miss Schafer, victim of the Schafer muir
der case at Bedford, Ind, was the only
clue to her slayer. Being curly and black,
IL indicated to the police that a negro had
committed the crime and a black man
was at once under suspicion. But a
Louisville expert found by this pbotomi-
crograph test that the hairs were from a
white man. So, you see, race as well as
sex and species can be determined by this
powerful instrument. Some one in the
world has a lock of Belle Elmore's hair
put away among his or her treasures.

a birch.
Blood tests. too. will have an impor-
tant bearing upon the Crippen case. IL a
skilled medico-legal specialist has been
called In he has already examined every
procurab,e garment OF the suspects. IL
the clothes are dark, he takes them Into
dark room and examines them by
candlelight. which readily shows any dark
stains invisible in other kinds OF light,
especially that from the sun. Next, TO
learn if the spots are probably what he is
looking for he throws upon them reflect
ed light. in which dried blood shows up
with characteristic gloss. But all OF
this is merely preliminary. human life
hangs upon the test. and the most infinite
care must be exercised. Bits of the
stained Goth are cut out and soaked In
distilled water. A beam OF light is passed
through the tube containing the solution
and thence through a prism which divides
the ray into color bands a certain pro-
portion of which are black If blood Is in
the tube. Thus we find blood. But what
kind of blood?
THE defendant, finding the accusing
finger of science pointed right into his
face. admits, say, that Is il blood. but
denies that ii Is human blood. He con-
tends that he killed hen for dinner
and that during its gyrations after the
DeHedulnS he got caught IN a Sanguinary
shower. In reply to this the expert dis
solves another blood spot with a chemi-
cal and places the fluid under his micros-
cope, which highly magnifies the cor

they are from an egg-laying animal.

not say. But recently some European

from that of other mammals. To better
explain this let me take you into the
