'Schmidt's face Is OF a most abnormal
type. Ii is rounded. dark and sallow. IL
Is known in medical science symmet-
rical or double face. a veritane Jeltyll-
Hyde face In physiognomy. The right
side Is almost sublime.
THE left. or Hyde side. is gross and
unnatural. The nose turns from a
straight line near the bulgng left nos
trl. The full upper lip twists into a
sneer, the lower lip droops away at the
corner from which seamy line trails
downward.
THE degeneracy OF the chin gives the
lie to its squared base. The left eye
In which ! could see the look OF an
animal brought to bay by hound and
hunter, slants away from the nose and is
heavily underlined.
This eye is crafty calculatIng-the
eye of the evil one himself
physically the man is not tall-a bout
five feet two inches In height. He
weighs about 40 or l45 pounds. but he
is we'll put together. He is OF good
