the classification in which they
belong. Thus Identification may be
made in either case.
Only felons are printed in the
Imperial county Identification bu
reau. Jacobs said few women have
been fingerprinted as the femin-
inc prisoners usually are jailed for
minor crimes.
Objections Infreguent
Prisoners seldom object tC being
printed or photographed according
to Jacobs. If they are guilty, they
apparently think it is no use to
object and if they are innocent
they are glad of an opportunity
to prove it.
In case a prisoner has been en-
gagged in occupations such as dish
washing. plastering or brick work,
it is necessary to wait several
days before making the prints
until the skin has returned to nor
NAL, Jacobs pointed out.
The liIoSt interesting problem
he has handled, said Jacobs, was
that Ct helping an amneSia victim
discover just who he was. The man
appealed to officers because he
said he did not know his name,
where he lived or how he happen
ed to be in Imperial Valley. He
remembered events three days in
the past, the time he had realizd
he had no memory. FingerprintS
and photographs were taken and
forwarded tC state and government
bureaus. At last reports, the am
nesia victim still did not know who
he was and anXiously awaited re-
turns from the two bureaus.
All of the work of the bureau
is net done in the snail room on
the south side of the county Jail.

ment for 'poWdering' the finger

May, 1885, according to Jacobs.
Jacobs and Lizarraras agreed that
it is rIuch easier to pose the
prisoners for pictures than it
would be to do the same fer pri-
Vate citizens. The prisoners have
to put up with the results even if
they don't flatter them much.

men ana women subjected to fin
gerprinting by the county, are eth
er the best friends or the worst
enemies of those upon whom they
appear. They stand as proof of
either innocence or guilt when a
fingerprint is involved.
Files at the county sheriffs Of
flee now contain sets of finger
prints of more than 10000 persons
and the Imperial county bureau
submits prints to the state and
federal bureaus of criminal identi-
ticatiCn in carrying on the work of
crime solution and the establish
ment Of identity of persons wanted
by officers in all parts of the
country, Jacobs said.
Procedure Explained
Everytime the fingerprints of
a prisoner are taken, the indivi-
dual also is photographed and the
prints exchanged with other law
enforcement offices in the same
manner as the fingerprint cards.
Duplicates OF prints and photo
graphs are available when neces-
Sary.
Prints and photographs must be
filed under every alias, or assum-
ed name, used by the prisoner.
Every fingerprint card contains an
linked impression of each separate
finger and thumb and the impress
sicns of the four fingers on each
hand in a cluster. The double
printing permits checking in case
a scar appears on one of the digitS,
Jacobs explained.
There are nine patterns under
which fingerprint classificationS
are made. First group is made up
of arches, tented arches, radial
loops, and ulnar loops. Group two
contains twin loops, lateral pocket
loops, central pocket loops, whirls
and accidentals.
Microscope Used
The tiny lines are placed under
a microscope to make classified
lions and the patterns are easily
determined, even by novice. Lay
men usually express aStoniShment
because the lines are so clear and
SO readily recognized after few
are studied, according to Jacobs.
1t requires approximately eight
or 10 days for returns to each
Imperial county after prints are
sent to the federal bureau of ident-
iticatiCn in Washington for COM
parison with the prints kept
there. From three to five days are
required to get returns from the
state bureau at Sacramento. In
case a quick reply is required by
Imperial county offirers, a de-
scription of the prints is sent via
teletype and the reply received in
the same manner.
Fingerprints are filed under the
