MAYOR GAYNOR was talking TO a

robbery case wherein j criminal had been
convicted BY means of the Bertlllon sys-
tenn of finger prints alone.
1T reminds me- said the mayor, of a
story about parson. This parson had a
fine orchard, and one summer, just when
the Bertillon system first came out. the
orchard was robbed. The only clue left
was the robbers finger print on an over
ripe peach. The parson had photo
graphic enlargement of the finger print
made. Then, with this enlargement under
his arm, he accosted III the main street
the man whom he suspected of the theft.
Pete he said, somebody robbed my
orchard last night
Pete took his pipe from his mouth.
He gulped nervously. Is that So sir?' he
said.
Yes. Pete. that's So said the parson.

cleared his throat.

the preacher held before the mans eyes
the huge enlargement of the finger print.
Pete, beholding the photograph, made
a gesture of despair.
