and Flynbury disclosed that there was only one stora where such a package could have been obtained. Minuto question- Ing of the proprietor enabled him to give Playfair a fairly detalled description of Mary's companions of the day before. This was the starting point of a series of in- quiries which led to his arrest.
Forgery Investigation has now reached a point beyond which no forger can go. With modern ap- paratus there can only be superflelal deception, and the forger is bound to be discovered in the end. When the expert relied on his own observa- tions he was sometimes proved badly wrong, but the more he depends on selence, the more deadly become his weapons against crime. Science al- ways wins.
