done BY Commissioner Doughertys men in the case Of the jackson
murder at the Hotel Iroquois.
Here was an actual crime s strange as fiction, and presenting
some complications not found in the stock in trade Of up-to-date
writer's OF detective stories.
The arrest within less than twentyfour hours after the crime
was committed Of the benboy Gede, the confessed murderer, in.
volved Photographic Identification Of finger prints discovered on the
bottle which had contained the chloroform employed by the assassin,
2 and from which bottle the druggists name on the label had been
crafty ehaccd. OF course the application Of the Bertllon system
in detective work is no novelty, either in fact or fiction. Conan
Doyle had Sherlock Holmes working it away back in the first series.
But, y it turns out, the finger prints on the chloroform bottle were
who first investigated it. The Gcw that ran Geidel to earth was
unravened by the police detective, Van Twistern, who found a sec
y ond label under the dcfaced one, and by means Of two letters traced
y the bottle to q pharmacy in Newark, N. j., where the druggist had
sold the chloroform to a woman who kept dodgers, and one Of these
dodgers wns the discharged bellboy Of the New York City hotel which
was the scene Of the mysterious crime.
Is this more extraordinary than the things which transpire
every few pages in the Conan Doyle stories? Perhaps not. But the
Doyle stories, and all other detective tales fabricated from fancy,
start where this one ends, with the solution of the problem already
in hand, so that the author has only to make his Holmes or Vdoca
or Dupn work backward through q l~abyrinthine groove carefully cut
out for him in advance.

shifted about in the road, then lifted up their heads and bayed with

vas there, and that it was useless to look further"
Both a motorboat chase and a bloodhound scent occur in the
Sherlock Holmes tale called "Tho Sign of the Four" if We remem-
Der rightly. But how trivial and fantastic such imaginines appear
when compared with the still unsolved dramatic riddles of life and
death that confront us in the actual news Of the dayl
