F|NGERPR|NTS GIVE
CLUE DESPITE ACID
DiIIinger Failed in Attempt
to Remove TeII-Tale
WhorIS.
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 23.--The discovery
that John Dillinger had attempted,
unsuccessfully, to obliterate the whorls
of his fingers today indicated that the
science of fingerprinting still was
practically foolproof
officials examining the bullet
slugged body on morgue slab said
Dillinger had used acid in efforts to
blur the tell-tale prints. But he was
unsuccessful. Sufficient identifying
marks were found to prove by the
flngerprints that the dead man was
the long-sought gangster.
Fingers Fail to Print.
The efforts of Dillinger to beat sci
ence recalled a case more than year
ago in which experts were unable to
obtain prints of a dead convict, Guy
Ellis, bank robber, who was slain by
posse near Ottawa, Ill.
Sheriff z. j. Welter attempted to
take prints of the fingers. His efforts
were greeted by smudges. Thinking
there might be something wrong with
his technique, Welter asked the Chi
cago Detective Bureau to send its best
fingerprint man there to attempt to
learn the identity of the dead man.
With the best equipment the Chi
cago expert still was unable to obtain
recognizable fingerprints. Then 1t
was discovered that the mans fingers
had been sanded to the extent that
no prints were obtainable. The body,
however. was identified soon by rela-
tives as that of Ellis.
Skin grating.
The Ellis case developed controversy
among criminologists here and else
where as to whether fingerprints
could be obliterated or disguised by
criminals.
The concensus Of experts was that
only one method would work-the
grating of skin by an unethical sur
geon onto the tips of criminal fingers.
When fingers are acid-soaked or
sanded, they said. the marred whorls
would be but temporary-new skin
soon would grow back with identical
markings of the original.
