@H derer signed his job-hngerprlntS,
bloodstains, cigarette butts, cartridge cases and
probably hairs Several of the laboratory men
are on the way back now with these clues. The
detectives are also bringing in a suspect.
1T looks like difficult case. So please ask
Prof Sannie to call a meeting of the crime
cabinet as soon as possible, to see what tney
can make of the signature"
Eor an epoch making innovation in crlmlnol-
ogy has been put into effect at the famous
Paris police laboratory that Alphonse Bertillon
started so years ago and that Edmond Bayie
carried on so brilliantly until he was murdered
by mailman last Winter.
At the request of M Chiappe very able ana
farsighted police executive, IL distinguished
professors, specialists in botany, chemistry.
chemistry, pharmacy, electricity, OPP
tics photography, ultraviolet rays, polsons'
hairs and other pertinent lines, have agreed TO
sit as q crime cabinet under the cnanmanSnp
of Prof Sannie, a young doctor and chemist
of only 49, who has been appointed TO take
Bayle's place.
IN small unimportant affairs only small
part of the cabinet viii be called into con-
sultation, of course.
But the instant first-rate mystery crime is
signaled, the IL bearded and specialized pro-
fessors veritable fbloodhounds Of modern sci
nence will hurry to the laboratory and apply
all the vast knowledge of their respective
branches to unravel the mystery. If the police
have already grabbed suspect who denies his
guilt he will be sent to this inquisition cham
Der for the strangest kind of third degree mag
Unable On the theory that the lawbreaker viz
tuaIly always brings away some telltale clue
from the scene of his crime, the inquisitors
will study him as they would study new bug
or a new biological curiosity under micro
scope They will make blood tests, analyze him
chemically and specially, put him through
X-rays and ultraviolet rays, examine the dust
beaten from his clothes, try out delicate cleo
trical and electro-chemical reactions, dig out
the matter under his fingernails and take him
over other jumps they intend to devise
1t will be formidable experience, for this
crime cabinet the first ever organized in the
world, reads like an honor roll OF French SCI

to progress along the lines so happily marked
out by its distinguished directors, Bertillon and

achieve this result, the sureSt way seemed to
