POLICE IN FEAT
OF CRIMINOLOGY
Finger Prints of Burglar Left
on Whisky Bottle Are
Photographed.
MAY LEAD TO "SWAG"
Remarkable Experiment Expected to
Solve Robbery at Home of
Charles A. Spauldins.

Five family visible ingerprints upon
a glass bottle-the only clew left by a
mysterious burglar who rsnsacked the
home OF Charles A. Spaulding. 17os
Rhode Island avenue northwest, Wednes-
day night, last night were recorded by
the Washington police upon black and
white" through the remarkable photo
graphic feat, paralleled only once before
in the police annals Of the country.
After six hours of hard work. Photos-
rapher Fred Sanburg last night succeed
ed in developing the films showing the
impressions OF the burglars fingers. As
he produced the Photographic copies at
Police Headquarters. detectives gathered
about him to study the fingerprints.
Among them was Detective Boyle, who
laughingly threw out his chest and
chuckled:
Wen get MIN now, boys, Some sleuth
work. eh?" II was Boyle who had first
discovered the fingerprints upon the
bottle.
Burglar Liked whisky.
So far as the detectives know, the only
other occurrence in the criminal records
of the country where finger prints on
glass have been photographed is in New
York, where this was done recently.
Numerous attempts have been made. but
with the exception of these two cases
each has failed. Unusual interest is at
tached to the feat because of the impor-
tant bearing il has upon the detention Of
criminals.
Each photograph developed yesterday
by Photographer Sanburg stands out per-
fectly, and through them Detectives f.
w. Boyle and J. II. Stringfellow, who
are working on the case, hope to identify
the burglar who carried of 80 pieces OF
solid silverware. valued at $500, from the
Spaulding home.
This is the second time that this par
ticular set of silverware has been stolen
from Mr.. Spaulding's home. About four
years ago a negro butler stole the silver
and pawned it for 800 in Washington
pawnshop. where il was recovered by
the police. The man was sent to the
penitentiary. The silverware comprises
knives. forks. and spoons
Boyle, who investigated the case. found
a whisky bottle in the dining room of the
Spaulding home which had been opened
by the burglar. He discovered five
fingerprints on the bottle.
Boyle took the bottle back with him to
headquarters and turned it over to San
burg
While photography of fingerprints made
in blood or left on other articles that
will preserve them is an everyday method
IN the detection of crime, heretofore, with
but one exception, it has been impossible
to make reprints of those left on glass.
