ing Of the body.
Finger Print Kept Secret
It has shown that police os.
ficials have had tangible clue
in the shape Of 8 legible finger
print which has been kept secret
three years. Although the finger
print was obtained on October

cember 8, 1929, that any effort
was made to trace the murderer
through 1T.
This attempt was started by
Department Of Justice finger
print experts upon order Of the
Grand jury following testimony
by Detective Sergeant Fred Sand
berg, chief Of the headquarters
bureau Of Identification that the
department had : print taken
from the death weapon for three
years and that the print was
not Scrivener's."
Report Negative
The Department of Justice has
made q report on more than 1.4OO
