Working with chemicals and micro
scopes, experts in the technical labora-
tory of the Federal Bureau Of Investi-
CATION have solved . mysterious mur-
der in far-awAy Alaska, their findings
resulting in exoneration Of the princi-
pal suspect and q confession by the
real culprit.
The experts corroborated the inno-
cent mans claim that blood found on
his clothing was not that of the slain
man. nor even OF . human being, and
they found that the chief suspects
rifle had not fired the fatal shot.
They reported. however, that the
rifle Of q minor suspect beyond
doubt" fired the bullet found In the
body Of the murdered man. John
Nilima.
On the basis Of this finding the
United States marshal in old Buck
land Village freed an ex-convict who
had been charged with the crime and
arrested . young Eskimo. Jim Rich
ards, owner of the murder gun.
Confession Obtained.
Richards made q full confession to
the crime upon being confronted with
the report Of the r. B. I. ballistics
experts.
The ex-convict had been accused
of the murder when bloodstains were
found on his woolen socks. His rife
was Of the same caliber as the one that
fired the fatal bullet.
The prisoner stoutly maintained he
was innocent and claimed the stains
on his socks were reindeer blood, splat-
tered during q recent hunting trip.
The marshal forwarded to wash
ington the socks. several shells and
the suspects rife. At the same time
he sent the rifle Of the Eskimo, who
wss considered q possible suspect"
BY progressive analyses Of compli-
Gated nature, the stains were identi-
fed first as blood and then as animal
rather than human blood. No at

Suspect Convicted.
He said 1t was reasonable" to con.

car were those of the victim. The
expert 30 testified at the trial, and
this testimony, with other evidence,
led to the mans conviction and i'm.
prisonment.
In an Ohio case police asked the
laboratory to examine tool marks
found on q looted safe in comparison
with q set Of burglars tools found
in the automobile of four suspects.
With the aid Of their microscopes the
experts were able to report that the
marks had been made by q pair Of
pincers having distinctive defects.
Scrapings found beneath the finger
nails Of one Of the men then were
anslyzed and found to be particles Of
paint similar to the paint on the
safe. On the basis of this evidence
the quartet was convicted Of the
burglary.
Case Brought From Montana.
The laboratory recently received
from Plentywood, Mont, q single
thread found on sledge hammer at
the scene Of a burglary. and pieces
Of fabric from the clothing OF two
suspects. The microscope showed the
thread was OF a cotton fiber similar
to that in the trousers of one Of the
suspects. Chemical anlysis disclosed

A Photographic analysis (study Of
dust for mineral qualities) revealed
minute particles of metal and dirt
on the thread found at the scene
OF the crime A similar study Of the
c]cthing fibers Of the two suspects
Showed similar particles of dust on
their trousers.
The two men have been CHARGED
with the burglary and are to be tried
shortly.
Such examinations in purely local
crimes are performed free of charge

enforcement agencies, in line with
Director J. Edgar Hoover's policy of
