Stone EnlargeS On
Bertillon System

Charles Stone, Bertillon expert OF
the Nevada state police, has perfect
ed all Improvement in the matter of
finger prints whereby he can now
take up the finger print left by a
criminal. in the commission OF 4
crime and without any extra effort
may show the print to a jury by
means of a picture machine or magic
lantern. Monday evening he tried
Ii a slide on the picture machine at
the high school and those who saw
it wondered how the lines on the
thumb could be brought out SO dis
tinctly.
The print of an ordinary sized
thumb was magnified till its shadow
on the screen was at least four feet
long and as wide III proportion. This
Improvement will be useful in con-
MEETING criminals with crimes and
convincing skeptical juries that the
man who made the finger print is the
man who did the joD. Mr.. Stone
will o copyright the idea, but will
give it to the police of the country
to make use of in the catching Of
criminals.

Italian Murderer
Caught at Ogden

According to information which
was received by Chief of Police Hill
house yesterday through Southern
Pacific Officer George Green, that
officer has effected the capture OF
Giavanni Margaroli, the Italian who
shot Mrs. Rafalli Puchetti and killed
her husband at Floriston, December
Sth. The fugitive was on train No.
10 and upon its arrival in Ogden,
Utah, he was placed under arrest.
Margaroli had neglected to put his
passports in his pocket the morning
of the murder leaving them in his old
clothes. This discovery was made by
Green soon after arriving at the
| scene of the tragedy and he took the
matter up with the Italian consul at
San Francisco, as it was certain that
if Margaroli wanted to leave the
country he would return and make
| application for new papers.
The surmise of the officers was
[ correct, and yesterday they learned
| that the fugitive had called at the
consul's office giving his true name
in the application for passports and
after procuring the papers announc-
ed that he was going back to fight
lfor Italy.-Journal.
