toes on his feet. Yesterday an APP

fellow in the prime OF life He was
accompanied by the Sheriff who turns
him over to the measuring crew at
the Armory.
The prisoner is first taken to the
photograph room. He is photograph
ed with his hat on and off, profile
and full face. If he should resist he
is held while the operation goes on.
The State gets his picture, which in

After that the man is ordered to

weight is chronicled as net weight.
His height is taken barefooted. He

his trunk is also taken that there
may be no mistake if the fellow does
some extra growing.
From the height and measure stand
he is gone over almost with a fine
tooth comb The head is measured,
length and breadth His ears form
an interesting subject. 1t is measur

mans nose is also measured. This
includes length and breadth, its char
