THE CRIMINAL'S LIFE REVEALED
DY KIS FINGER PRINTS.
The extent to which finger prints reveal the life and character of a person is being made the subject of interesting study not only by American criminologists, bat by those agents of the State who deal directly with criminals.
Marks made by the thumb and Angers of a shrewd Inw-breaker differ from those of the pally chief; those of the highwayman are not like those of the counterfeitor; while the prints of the degenerate have their own characteristic ridges and lines.
Moasurements of the Bertillon system may become valualess through chẳnges in the sub- |ject brought about by passing yours, but Änger, prints are always the same. The man of 60 har precisely the distinctive markings' that ha born in his cradle,

Even further back does this comparatively new science extend, as by its aid the export
learns much of the characteristics of the sub- lect's antecedents.
"Finger printing" of criminals has recently been adopted in the State prisons at Joliet, Ill., and, Leavenworth, flas. Before that it was 159raxtensively employed in America only in New
York and New Jersey.

Meurs. A. S. Watson & Co., Ltd. write as follows:-
One exceedingly interesting instance where the finger-print system, proved infallible and superior to the Bentillon system was in the case of twin brothers of Elizabeth, N. J. This case was a puzzle to the authorities for years, until Mr. Schwartz showed which twin was the criminal wanted for one offence, the other belog accused of the came crime in larger degree."

Mike and Jim, ás much alike in appearance
two peas, were, hold-up men, second- story workers, pickpockets "panhandler" and all-round crooks, and were uncommonly clever. They were tattooed from head to foot. The identical tattoo, marks, the identical scars and identical moles were in the same spots on Jim 41 on Mike.
Even the Banillon system of measurements could not disprove Jim's statement that he was Mike, or Mike's assertion that he was Jim.
For years the police, when they had one man, declared him to be the one wanted, until the other would raise a doubt by showing the extraordinary resemblance between the two.
On the breast of each were tattooed an an- chor and shield and an eagle and shield. The American flag was on Jim's back, and on Mike's in precisely the same position to a rac- tion of an inch. Their legs andlower arms were . covered with arrow-heads, clapsed hands, crosses, hearts, stare and wonderful snakes, all similar in position, appearance and measure-
ments,
Where Mike received a scar that Jim did not have, the latter burned one on himself with
acid. It took several years to distinguish ons
of the men definitely from the other, and it was finally Mr.. Schwartz who made the discovery.
This case demonstrated beyond doubt the truth of the assertion that no two persons, even if twins, have finger-tip markings exactly alike. Mr. Schwartz found that the thumb printe made by Mika denoted mare strength of charac. ter than the coarser markings of his brother.
Jim's lines indicated weaker intellect and less stamina. On his thumb, however, the fine lines were broken here and there, showing that, while lacking the finesse of Mike in criminal operations, he was the cleverer highwayman.
In the light of these readings, this police traced the histories of the men, and found that the variations in their ciminal careers bore aut the interpretations placed upon their finger prints.
In the light of these "rendings," said Mr. Schwartz, "I never ran across such a singular
case of likeness between two men. Twins usu- ally are close in resemblance, but these fellows beat anything I ever saw. They are nearer be. ing identic than any other two men within my knowledge."
* BALKED CRIMINAL HUNTERS, Here, then, was a case in which not only an extraordinary natural resemblance, but artificial aids, balked the shrewdest criminal hurter. "We have pleasure in stating that Mr. LI Even the exact Bertillon system, which fails so KWONG LOONG furnished the Annexe rarely as to make failure a noteworthy happen. to our Dispensary and gave us every satiing, was at fault, for the first time to many faction,"

thousand cases.
Of far greater importance, however, to the student of human phenomena as well as the criminologist was the differentiation in char Reter made by the thumb prints.
Even the sceptic may acknowledge that the lines on one man's finger tips may differ from those of another man: he may agree that, in the inscrutable wisdom of nature, no two men
have skin markings, exactly alike, but theg character may be read from these-that, he may astert, is anniker matter,
Here was a case, however, in which an expert reader of finger marks determined that and twin was shrewder in planning crime than the other; that one was better filed for the career of a highwayman, while his brother could
