But the gentleman from Kentucky rcck
onod without science.
In the laboratory the blood on his under
wear was shown to belong TO Group O, so
did the blood Of his wife. But his own rod
cells were Group A. Furthermore, a doctor
found no evidence that Davenport had a re-
cent nosebeed and blood on the iron pipe
was found TO be that Of a human being The
man was found guilty Of murder and SEN
fenced TO life Imprisonment.
Perspiration saliva and secretons from
the nose, experts find, can be classified in the
same groups as blood, except in the case Of
about 1877 Of the people who arc called non
excretors because their pcrspiration can't be
typed. man who has Group perspiration,
for instance. will have Group blood.
This fact was important in leading New
York City police TO a stranger not long ago.
woman's body minus one shoe and one
stocking but with a handkerchief knotted in
a death grip around her neck, was found in
a dim alley The handkerchief was mans.
A search located the missing shoe, stocking
and a woman's hat in a nearby rooming
house There a witness reported seeing a
man drag the body into the alley and the
suspect was apprehcnded. Already secretions
on the handkerchief had been tested and
found not TO match the blood type OF the vic
tim. A sample Of the mans blood agreed
with the type Of the nasal secretions, indcat-
ing that the handkerchief could have been his.
Stains probably due TO the victims frothing
at the mouth were found on the lnolcum IN
the mans room. They matched with the
woman's blood, not the mans.
Other circumstances added TO this evidence
led TO the mans arrest, but without blood
grouping test the stained kerchief could not
have been known TO point toward him as the
possible murderer.
The recent mugging case in New York.
in which the popular radio and stage star,
Zina Provende. suffered a fractured skull,
had no such helpful evidence. She was hit
from behind, apparently with an 1S-inch pipe
which later was found near the scene. Leav-
ing her unconscious, the mugger escaped with
her purse
But in the case pictured in the artists
drawing above several helpful clues are avail
able. No matter what the escaping thug
who raced away with the pocketbook, may
say, bloodstan on one thugs collar can be
proven 10 match the group and type of the
attacked girl because it has come from the
scratch on her face.
