He tells this story to illustrate how
modern scientists are emulating. and
indeed eclipsing. the deductive feats of
Holmes:
Several years ago a number of sticks
CT dynamite were found close to a resi-
dence in Berkeley The explosive was
delivered to DR.. Albert Schneider. direc-
tor Of Vollmer's police laboratory, who
carefully removed the burlap and paper
in which the dynamite was inclosed. A
piece of cotton Irvine was tied around a
second layer of paper. The Irvine was
removed, immersed in distilled water
ana shaken VlOlcnlIy.
Later the water was syphoned from
the vial and the precipitatsd matter
subjected to careful microscopic eXami-
nation.
The scientist reported. as near as
can recall Vollmcr relates, that the
twine had come from a farm upon
which would be found a swift stream
of water, pine trees. several varieties of
designated shrubs, black and white rab-
bits, bay horse, light cream-colored
COW and Rhode Island Red chickens.

value of science in police work.
