Scotland Yard Head Tells Hon.
u. S. Can Reduce Unsolued Murders

department of Scotland Yard, Lon
don, and during the war was Brit,
ish director of intelligence He now
is in the United States on a lectur,
tour.
Publicity Helps Detection
While the British criminal expert
refused TO comment directly on the
Hall Mills murder, he outlined the
general principles of criminal inves-
tigation which he believes should be
applied to mystery murders.
"The whole success of any MUIR
der investigation depends on the
steps taken at the outset" Sir Basil
said. Three steps are most import
ant.
First is the examination of the
scene of the crime. This should be
done with especial care and. in some
cases. the locale Of the crime shou' d
be carefully shut off so that evidence
will not be destroyed or the investi-
gators confused by curiosity seekers.
Second is the holding of an eff
cient autopsy and the securing OF
reliable medical testimony. TIC my
rnind, the autopsy should be held
open as long as possible s1r fresh
facis will always be uncovered.
Third is giving T. the Public in
certain cases most accurate Lnowl-
edge o. the crime. That means that
many witnesses will be brought to
light who otherwise never would
have known their knowledge could
De of any value to the police.
Closer Police Cooperation Needed
You can overcome this by bring
ing about closer cooperation between
police in different cities and l un-
derstsnd you are doing this. Close
association and contact between po-
lice heads is desirable but contact
between police subordinates is more
II brought this contact between
about in England when
/ admitted provincial detectives to
the London letect We school where
they studied side by side with Lon?
don detectives. You are now doing
things like that here and should con-
tinue to do it more"
Sir Basil had a colorful career
Born in 1851, the son of an arch
bishop, he was educated at Eton ana
Oxford and called to the bar.
