> The key piece of evidence needed to arrest Charles Crispi is the greasy fingerprint left on the pane of glass at the M. M. Bernstein and Brother garment factory. This fingerprint, when analyzed and compared to existing records at the NYPD Identification Bureau, will match Crispi's prints taken during a previous arrest. The comparison needs to demonstrate a significant number of matching points (in the actual case, 48) to be conclusive.

While not strictly necessary for the arrest, the following supporting evidence strengthens the case and contributes to a successful conviction:

Testimony of Officer Fitzpatrick: Fitzpatrick can describe the crime scene, the professional nature of the break-in, and the missing pane of glass where the fingerprint was found. This establishes the context of the crime and the discovery of the crucial evidence.
The pane of glass itself: The physical piece of glass with the fingerprint serves as a tangible exhibit.
Faurot's expert testimony: Faurot's explanation of fingerprint analysis, the comparison process, and the uniqueness of fingerprints is essential for demonstrating the validity of the evidence to a jury unfamiliar with this new science.
Crispi's previous arrest record: This record, including his fingerprints taken in 1907, provides the basis for comparison and confirms the match.
(Optional) The courtroom demonstration: While not part of the initial investigation, Faurot's successful identification of a juror based on a fingerprint dramatically illustrates the reliability of the method and sways the jury in the actual trial.

It's important to note that in the historical context of 1911, fingerprint evidence was a novel concept. Therefore, Faurot's expertise and clear explanation of the science are crucial for its acceptance.

< Given the above evidence, arrest Crispi

(Imagine a bustling New York City street in 1911. Horse-drawn carriages clatter on cobblestones, newsboys shout the latest headlines, and the scent of coal smoke hangs in the air. We cut to a dimly lit apartment, presumably Crispi's.)

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The door creaks open, revealing a slightly disheveled Charles Crispi. He eyes the two figures standing before him with suspicion. It's Detective James Fitzpatrick, his face stern, and beside him, the slighter figure of Inspector Joseph Faurot, holding a small, cloth-wrapped object.

Fitzpatrick: Charles Crispi, you're under arrest for the burglary of M. M. Bernstein and Brother Garment Factory on Wooster Street.

Crispi scoffs. Crispi: You got nothin' on me, copper. I was nowhere near that place.

Faurot: (calmly unwrapping the cloth to reveal the glass pane) Perhaps this will refresh your memory, Mr. Crispi.

He holds the glass pane up to the light, revealing the faint, greasy fingerprints. Crispi's eyes widen slightly as he recognizes the pane.

Faurot: We found this at the scene. And on it, a very clear set of fingerprints. Fingerprints that match a certain set we have on file... yours, Mr. Crispi, taken just a few years ago when you were brought in for a similar loft burglary in Soho.

Crispi's bravado falters. He opens his mouth to protest, but the words catch in his throat.

Fitzpatrick: (producing a pair of handcuffs) Come along quietly, Crispi. You have the right to remain silent...

(The scene fades as Fitzpatrick snaps the handcuffs onto Crispi's wrists and leads him out of the apartment, Faurot following close behind, the glass pane now carefully re-wrapped and tucked under his arm.)

Charles Crispi is now in custody. The evidence, meticulously gathered and analyzed by Inspector Faurot, has spoken for itself.
