The chairman Of the Otley bench
gave practical proof Of his sympathy
with witnesses WAC object to kiss
the book" because they fear microbes
in its weN3humbed pages. by pre-
senting to the court twelve New Tes-
taments with covers which can be
washed, says the London Chronicle.
He also promised to give another
Testament bound ia white ceIiuloid
on whlch the smallest speck OF dirt
could be seen. He aaded that after
seeing many policemen search for q
eloan page In the weil-worn book
used In the court he gave instruc-
tions for all police witnesses to take
the Scottish oath.
Now that he has provided the
court with washable Te1taments the
pciice viii be able to revert to sthe
orthodox method Of taking the oath.
It frequently happens In our courts
that when a witness objects to kiss
the covers of the book" he 10 told
by the Judge or magistrate to open 1t
and kiss one OF the pages. bat there
are Testaments in use In some Of
the courts which have scarcely q
page that has not besn kissed By q
hundred witnesses Of whom not q
few have been consumpttyes.
II the home secretary were to act
upon the hint thrown out by the
chairman Of the otiey bench and d.
rect that washable Testaments only
should be used in our courts. be
would confer great beneflk upon
the community. He might also go q
step further ana make 1t the duty Of
an ofiicial in every court to see thai
the books were washed.
The Testament at present in use
should be destroyed. Very few Of
them. Il bacterioiogfcaiiy examined.
would probably be found free from
disease germs. and to put them tnte
circulation would merely be to tranz'
fer the danger OF creating disease
from the court TO the home.

Along the northwestern border,

Money Marked to Catch Thief.
How is money marked when you
are trying to catch theft" asked a
headquarters detective. "Well. it's
not marked In the way people think
1t is" And he went on to tell some
of the secrets of police experts. The
method described has been found to
be simpler and more effective than
any other In use.
"TheS eSaverage person thinks pri-
vate marks are placed on bills with
pen and ink Such marked money is
good evidence in court, bat a check
mark in ink. unless very expertly
put on, might, with the aid OF good
lawyer for the accused. be shown 70
be accidental.
There are several ways ef mark
ing money used by police experts.
The method the detective quoted per-
sonaIIy employs Is described By him-
self.
Perhaps the safest mark to se-
cure conviction 10 the pm prick. Let
us take the familiar silver certificate
Of the Gve-doiiar denomination for
an iIlustration. In the center is the
weli-known vignette of the head of
an Indian chief In dress regalla OF
feathers and trappings. presenting q

punctures through the bill directly

me make the punctures, they are not

glance But raise the bill to the
light and you can see the two tiny
holes distinctly.

"The marking is now complete.
1t is exhibited to one or two persons
in the secret for the purpose OF
iAentification, and then placed In the
money drawer to which thief has
access. The thief may be on the
lookout for marked bills. but he
looks for ink marks. This class OF
thieving does not admit Of very
careful examination Of the money
before taking.
