CHICAGO, July 1.-Two human
hands and woman's ear met my gaze
as was ushered into the weird moulsge

Laboratory OF Northwestern University.
The hands caught my eye before
he'd a chance to see anything else.
They we're severed at the wrist and

chopped them off with butcher knife
and then dropped them carelessly.

Of blood was visible, lay on an enameled

Inspector Ferdinand Watzek, to whom
1t dawned upon me, had just been
introduced, must have noted my In
stinctive recoil, for he smiled and said:
They are just wax. those things you
see there. Did not Col. Goddard tell
you?"
Yes" replied. He sketched your
work to me, but those hands are so
realistic thought for the moment they
were real ones which you we're about to
copy But he did not tell me more than
enough to stimulate my curiosity"
Explains Use Of MouIaEe.
Then must explain about moulage, =
the inspector said, wiping his hands on
a paint smeared white apron and seat
ing himself on q high stool before the
bench. I noticed for the first time a
small box of colors in tubes and several
canel's-hair brushes

ing wax casts in crime detection and its
afhliated branches In Vienna we have
the first moulage laboratory. established
by the Bundles Polizei Direktion. The
technique also has spread to Berlin,
Nuremberg and Warsaw. This labora
tory. which the university so kindly
asked me to organize, is the first in
America"
The inspector paused to wipe his
glasses.
But how is moulage used in crimi-
nology?" l asked
In many. many ways" Watzek re-
piled. Suppose footprint is found at
the scene of a crime. 1t is not the foot
print Of the murdered person. The
usual method of preserving the print is
by photographing 1t. But a photograph
is unsatisfactory in most cases One
cannot f1t q suspects shoe onto a pho
tograph.
But If cast Of the print has been
made, one not only can try the suspect S
shoe in the depression of the cast. but
one can do better than that One can
reproduce the bottom OF the shoe that
made the print and compare it micro
scopically with the shoe of the man
under suspicion.

the location and extent of all such

A record like that also bears witness.
mutelly, to the degree of brutality posi-

It was disclosed that casts are being
made successfully of footprints, tire
marks and other impressions in very
dry dust. The technique Is remarkably
delicate, but quite effective. The i'm

shell. With this as a foundation, the
cast is readily made.
Solved Murder Case.
Col. Goddard told of a murder case
which came to his attention during
tour Of crime laboratories in Europe. In
this case moulage led to the solution of
bafiling "hatchet murder" mystery
A cast wss made of the cleft skull of
the victim. Under the microscope the
cast showed numerous situations. The
hatchet Of suspect was examined
micrcscopicallv and the same incrimi-
mating scratches we're apparent.
The casts also are Of value in record
ing tool marks left on a safe by
burglar. as well ss scars made by the
Jimmy he used In gaining entrance to
the establishment
/ remarked to Inspector Watzek that
moulage requires that a criminologist
also be an artist.
1T is not so difficult to master" he
said. but it requk : patient study and
considerable diligence. I look forward
to seeing MANY moulage laboratories in
America when the efficacy of the process
becomes more widely known among the
police"
Col. Goddard closed the interview
with the remark:
That is whv we enlisted the services
of inspector Watzek in our underta king
here. II is our hope that his peculiar
technique will be adopted in other large
cities. Just as the process has spread In
Europe"
