Liars and Blood Pressure

ception. Fear and anger largely con-
stitute the deceptive complex, and
these are the only emotions that in
fluence to any extent systolic blood
pressure on which the tests are based.
DR.. Marston found by experiments
that if anyone attempts to deceive the
emotion of fear influences his blood
pressure in definite ways. Even if the
possibility of detection is remote the
organs respond somewhat TO an in
herent fear. 1t is not normal to lie
and this departure from normal has
/ its reaction in the blood pressure.
Using an instrument which is at
i$ached to the arm, and which he calls
sphygmomanometer the psycholo-
gist made numerous tests which sus-
tanned his theories. Tests were made
of persons held by the police depart
ment for theft, drug taking, prostitu-
/ ton. forgery, and bootlegging After
each test was made Dr. Marston gave
| his verdict as to the truth or falsity
of the subjects account Then the in
vestigation was continued by medical
examination. questioning other per-
sons involved, or by further detective
work 1t is claimed that the blood
pressure tests were invariably sub

Dr. Morston says that he has al
ways got 100 per cent satisfactory re
suits in making the tests himself That

LONDON IS IN GRIP
OF RADIO CRAZE

LONDON, July s. (by mail to the
United Press) All conquering radio
has got London with both hands.
Ever since the night of the Lewis
Carpenter fight, when the newspapers
"broadcasted the results of each
round into the home of the countless
amateur radio fans, the public has
been held by the possibilities of this
craze.
Newspapers are filed with radio
news and doings.
Instruments of amateurs are now
being tuned up ready for the reception
of broadcasting reports, which are
now allowed as the result of con-
ference of officials of the government
and post office departments.
The Manchester Wireless society
an amateur club-has started to con-
struct a high power wireless station
at Baguely, Cheshire, for the purpose
of transmitting and receiving from

there. A novice might at once con-
clude that the subject was not answer
ing his questions truthfully, whereas
this reaction would probably be due
to a general uneasiness at the mystic
rious proceeding. AS the questions
proceed the operator may find that
the chart he is drawing remains at 4
level of $50 or drops off toward nor

truthful in her statements.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July s.
Some day every prisoner at the bar
may have his story scientifically
tested for truthfulness. Blood pres
sure has been tried and proved as a
gauge Of deception, and a method has
been evolved by which an expert can
test with reasonable exactness the
truth of the spoken word.
Thus a prisoner may recount calm
Iy a plausible alibi for a crime Per
haps he shows no visible symptoms
of fear or nervousness. But if he is
not telling the truth his blood pres
sure, over which he has no control
is reacting violently to the fear OF
discovery On the other hand, if he
is telling the truth, however fantastic
his blood pressure will bear him on;
by remaining at a comparatively nor
NAL level
The blood pressure deception test
has been developed to a practical
stage. 1t was used by the department
of Justice in connection with wartime
spy cases. It's being used now by q
criminologist of the Berkeley, Califor
MIA, police department.
Here in Washington the man who
developed the test has just tried 1T on
a negro accused of murder Evidence
is against the suspect, but the tesi
indicates that his alibi is correct. He
! is now being held while other sus
poets are being trailed.

| The pioneer of the blood pressure
deception test is DR.. William NJ. Mars

American University. DR.. Marstol
SAYS that there has been some misun
derstanding about his work. He use
three different kinds of deception
tests of which the blood pressure ties
is the most reliable All of the instru
ments adapted for use in giving tn
tests were invented some time ago TO
various purposes. DR. Marston eH
