Eventually.

Men missing on the battlefronts
are now being traced by the
FBI using the scientific methods
developed in seeking criminals, re-
ports J. Edgar Hoover. FBI director,
In a message ITO the parents and
friends Of all men In the armed
forces. Telling what FBI is doing
to restore men missing here or
abroard, he writes in Redbook Mag
aZine for May:
where war takes its heaviest
toll Is In the wounded and the
missing. In the old war, medical
Silence worked wonders In restoring
the wounded, well and strong, to
their families and friends; In this
war, It is working miracles. But
the problem Of the missing has
never, until recently, been wholly
solved. That Is where the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation comes IN.
For nearly two decades, our prin-
cipal business has been the locat-
ing and identifying Of persons whose
whereabout are unknown. It may be
comforting to know that the many
identification techniques which the
Bureau has developed in the pur-
suit Of criminals are being success
fully applied right now on all fronts
Of this global war, to the protec-
ton and Identification Of the brave
young men who are r1sking tnelr

RerprintS. They form three months
before birth, and do not change
throughout the longest life, or after.
Not long ago, we had submitted TO
use fingerprints of a living man
born in 1885: over hundred years
of life had not altered single whorl
or delta or core. AS for prints taken
after death, we received in one re-
cent year more than $500 and were
able to identify nearly forty per
cent Of them by comparison with
those already in our files. We have
even effected positive Identification
from the f1ngerprint impressions on
shriveled skin clinging to a skele-
ton!
Distance also is no obstacle TO
the efficacy Of modern methods OF
Identification. Evidence secured IN
distant war-theaters reaches us only
a little less promptly than evidence

ents who might otherwise spend
years - or perhaps lifetime - OF
mourning for sons or husbands or
sweethearts whom they mistakenly
believed to be dead. In fact, we
have already made many such iden-
tifications in these first years OF
war.
For obvious reasons, I cannot
describe in detail those identifica-
lions effected on the field Of battle
or at sea. But I can give any num-
Der Of cases which have happened
In our Armed Forces still stationed
in this country, where FBI tdentifi-
cation methods have been able to
bring comfort and happiness to anx-
iouS families and friends.
twenty-five years ago, no such
service was possible. Methods OF
Identification were crude and in
complete. Even fingerprints were
still subjects Of suspicion and dis
pute, and the idea of central bu-
reau, where prints Of all the men In
the Army and Navy, Marine Corps
and Coast Guard, should be kept,
had not been conceived. In fact, 1t
did not come to complete fruition
until November, 1941, less than a
month before the war began. SO,
although fingerprints of men In the
Armed Forces were taken in 1917
and 1918, they were scattered about
In various buildings and depart
ments in way which made thorough
search impossible. Moreover, no
such swift and sure method OF
searching, and no such trained corps
Of expert searchers as now exist at
the Bureau, had come into being
anywhere In the world. And as for
a technical laboratory for use in
identifying human beings, it was
merely dream which We hoped
would some day come true.
"Some time ago, a panic-strick-
en- father and mother came to the
Bureau, worried almost to death
about their son who had been hon
orably discharged from CCC
camp but had not returned home.
They were sure something terri
BILE had happened to him and were
appealing to us for help. Hun
dreds Of thousands Of these miss
ing persons cases are reported
every year.
THE first step was easy. Every
CCC enrollee was fingerprinted
and his prints entered In our
files. So we found this young
mans card and put a special no
tation on 1t. Ten days later, the
fingerprint card Of q newly-en-
listed soldier was received from
California. The name was quite
different from the one the par
ents had given us, but the prints
were identical with those Of the
missing COG boy. Motivated by q
patriotic urge and q mistaken but
well-meant desire to keep his
family from worrying about his
being in the war, he had enlisted

SSNA4 " SAAV44 = = ~ 41eS
Testimony Of the witnesses was a
lengthy and at times confusing af-
fair, p1nctuated by numerous OBJ
jecttous and vigorous cross exam
nation by Defense Attorney John H.
Cassidy.
As was expected, Atty. Cassidy
took the spotlight from the begin
ming Of the trial. AS soon as Court
Officer Joseph Garveys gavel open
ed the session, the defense attorney
rose to question the Jurisdiction Of
the city court, pointing out that the
penalties involved under the charge
were devere and included diSenfran-
chisement, which he said, was the
worst penalty that could reach q
man who Is voter.
However, he continued, since the
mere arrest Of Stolfi was sufficient
to take away from him the fine
reputation he bears in the commun-
ity, he desired to leave the question
Of jurisdiction for the time being
and get on with the hearing.
He then proceeded to quote from
Othello:
"Who steals my purse steals trash. E.
But who filches from me my good
name
Steals not that which enriches him,
but
Which leaves me poor indeed"
First witness called by Prosecuting
Attorney Albert w. Hummel was
Superior Clerk James E. Mcknight,
custodian Of county naturalization
records, showing that Stolfi became
q naturalized citizen Of the United
States on Jan. 16, 1899, following his
declaration Of intention on Sept. II
1885.
Examination of the second wit
ness, Mrs. Mary c. Kilmartin, Town
Clerk, and hence member Of the
board Of commissioners Of elections,
took the greater part Of the after
noon.
Mrs. Kilmartin identified regis
tration books Of her office which
purported to show that Stolfi was
not made a voter between 1889 and
1913. On cross examination by Atty.
Cassidy, however, she admitted that
it was possible for an error to be
made In the books.
Nevertheless, over objections by
Atty. Cassidy, Judge Raebach ad-
mitted the books, including lists Of
voters made from Oct. Is, 1884, as
prirnA facie evidence.
MIS-. Kilmartin then identified for
Atty. Cassidy an entry dated Sept.
9, 1887, which listed Michael Stolfi,
as, 81 Wood street, as having been
admitted to voting privileges.
City Electrical Inspector Martin
@. ORourke testified that he issued
licenses to Michael Stolfi, 118 Hill
street, for electrical contracting be-
tween 1899 and 1914.
On cross examination by Mr.. Cas-
sidy. he said he had known Stolfi
q long time and found him an up
right operative, and an above board

tended to promptly and properly,
are not the horrors they once were.
Medical science has learned q great
deal about their treatment, and
nothing more important than the
fact that, in most cases, the quickest
and surest cures are effected in
familiar home surroundings, where
a chance word or contact may clear
away almost Immediately the clouds
which obscure the past.
Because this was not possible In
so many cases in 1917 and 1918,
many veterans of the first World
War are still living out miserable
lives far from home and dependent
on the charity Of strangers. Many
of these victims, If promptly iden-
titled, might have been restored to
their homes and cured Of their Ills"

citizen, worthy of q license.
"And did you find in him any
tendencies toward committing q
fraud?" the defense attorney asked.
mot a Bit" O'Rourke replied.
Last witness called yesterday by
Prosecutor Hummel was City Clerk
Joseph Shea who identified the sew
eral calls and warnings for cleo
lions during the period of time in
volved in the eight counts against
Stolfi.
Among the interested spectators
at the trial yesterday was william
Root, former employe Of the Regis
trar Of Voters office.
Also present was Albert o. Faller,
Republican registrar Of voter, who
Is expected to be called to the stand
at the next session.
Mr.. Fallers complaint to Mayor
Monagan regarding Stolfi's alleged
illegal voting, following what he said
was an anonymous phone call at
midnight, touched off the investiga-
ton by Prosecutor Hummels office
which led to Stolfis indictment.
