BY TED KELLOGG.

~ NE day in 1927 disgruntled pho
tographer came back to his Office
studio in Baltimore and found a
letter, addressed a typewriter
to Ira N. Gulickson." He opened
it. being Ira N. GulickSon, and
read it over. It's contents, added to the diff
culties he had just had photographing loco
motive SO that it would look right in publicity
folder, made him hopping mad"
The letter, it seems, gave him the "razzberry"
for something Che won't even tell today what
it was) and he didn't like it, The fact it had
been sent anonymously only added to his irri-
tation.
The night before, this photographer who at
that time was doing publicity photography for
a railroad, had been reading an article on
questioned Documents" IF just knew some-
thing about that business" he thought to him
SELL Il could find out for sure who wrote that
letter" He already had a pretty good idea,
he says, but wanted to be sure 1t was pay
day so Ira went out forthwith and bought
book on Identification by typewriting and hand
writing-the science known as questioned
documents and he's been buying them
since
Soon after that the Baltimore job gave out"
but GulickSon continued the fascinating study
he had taken up, and shortly took exami-
nation for job as photographer under the
Civil Service. He waited around picking up
a job here and there they developed, and in
his leisure time Che had lots of it now he
read everything he could get on handwriting
and typewriting Identification.
THEN the Metropolitan Police Department in
Washington decided it needed new pho
tographer, and another letter came to Gulick-
son. This one had an opposite reaction-it
offered him job, and he took it.
That was in 1880. His study of questioned
documents" had led him into the field of
chemistry, manufacture of inks of paper and
a hundred and one other allied fields, and he
still was studying. In the Washington Police
Department. under Lieut.. Fred Sandberg, recog-
nized as one of the countrys outstanding
fngerprint experts he took up that study
In an upstairs room at his home at BIT
Tewkesbury place, Gulickson has outftted q

natures on bank checks they think are .phony,"
they come to the photographer.
His laboratory equipment in addition to an
extensive library on modes Of identification of
criminals, includes two especially designed mi
croscopes for studying documents, several sets
of glasses" marked with microscopicaly accu-
rate lines to determine the many things
necessary In studying documents: type speci-
mems, specimens Of handwriting-n it has
anything to do With this hobby which has
become q profession, it's there.

han their neighbors, and third, any one or
several of the type bars may be ''off its feet
hat Is may print heavier on one side or on
corner
OF course, most makes of typewriters can be
distinguished by the difference in shapes Of
letters-not by you, but by men who have
studied them. The microscopically marked
glass plates are called into play to determine
alignment of a typewriter. They are divided
into tiny squares 40 0/240ths of an inch on each
side Into each one of these letter is sup
posed to fit. If several of the letters drop be-
low or above the lines, they are out of line
and mark the typewriter. Another specimen
from "suspected' typewriter may be taken
and cCmpared--and there you have it.
Only you don't! 1t takes hours Of work,
comparison OF every single "a" and "b" and
ID" and "e,' period, dollar mark, and every
other character on the keyboard.
QUT this is getting involved, although not
y one-haf SO involved as one can become
when he starts trying to grasp all there is to
know about this questioned documents busi-
ness in a few hours, however. With good
specimens suffice to say and access to "sus-
pected' machines as we'll as the suspected
Criminals who operated them, an expert can
not only tell the individual machine and its
make, but he can determine the writer of
questioned document, e.en typewriter, be-
cause of his touch" and the way the letters
have been placed on the paper
But that's all about typewriting and, while
typewriter documents are always appearing for
identification-a suicide note, letter, check
made out by machine, and thousand others
Handwriting Identification plays an even more
important part.
The existence of the financial and business
struc.ur of the world depends the validity
OF signatures, and it is signatures that crop
up most often in the business Of criminal iden-
tification by penmanship. Gulickson has not
neglected handwriting while he has been
gagged in his study. Under his magnifying glass
or microscope he can tell a forged signature
from the genuine, and sometimes without
the Aid of the mechanical contrivances. In a
paper he prepared on his profession some time
ago, he described the basis of signature iden-
tifcation thus:
Every handwriting and signature has Its

And, when Gulickson gets wound up" to
telling you about his work in identification of
documents. you wonder why you haven't been
interested before.
1t seems to explain some of the more rudi-
mentary phases Of detection by typewriter"
that there are three things to be taken into
consideration when looking at typed line or
letter, a document specialist looks at it.
First, any missing burrs on any Of the letters
serve to distinguish typewriter; second the

are used, and some letters are higher or lower
