HIS FINGER TIPS ~ ROBBERY.
Crispi Arrested and Held for TRIAL After
Study Of Q Door Glass.

NJ. NJ. Bernstein, dealer in undercloth-
ing at III Wooster street. reported to the
police on February % that some one had
removed the glass from the door leading
from the hallway into his storage rooms
and had stolen goods valued at $500.
Detectives examined the glass in the
door, which had been carefully cut out and
set aside. 1t showed slight finger marks
and was turned over to James A. Faurot,
head of the finger print department Of
the identification bureau.
Photographs were made OF the glass
and two clearly marked finger prints
and two thumb prints on it. Faurot
went carefully through his collection
Of 10000 prints and decided that the prints
were made by Charles Crispi. 81 years
old, whose picture 10 2.5i5 in the rogues'
gallery. From 1893 until 1909 Crispi
served time almost continuously for four
different jobs He had been in q reforma-
tory since io09 but the police learned
that he had lately been discharged.
Crispi was arrested yesterday morn
ing and Magistrate Corrisan held him
in $500 bail for trial. fauiot said yes
terday that there was not the slightest
doubt OF the Identification.
1t will be necessary to prove that the
prints were made at the time Of the rob-
berry. II the police can show that there
are prints on both sides OF the glass near
the edge il will be pretty good evidence
that the prints were made in handling
the glass after it had been cut out
