The Federal Bureau of I nvestigation i s privi leged to be host to the Twenty-third Annual Convent ion of the I nternat ional Assoc iat i on for I dent i f i cation in Washington , D . C . I t i s a pleasure to extend the greetings of my assoc iates in the FBI to the members of this organizat i on .

An occas ion of this nature acquaints us with one another . I t creates a spi r i t o f famil iarity and comradeship which i s inspiring i n our work , and promotes enthus iastic cooperation for better and more effic ient law enforcement . One subj ect which i s foremos t i n our minds i s that of ident i fi cati on. We are all acquainted with the importance of thi s work in sci entific crime detect ion . Therefore , thi s convent ion i s heart ily rece ived as an opportunity to generate and exchange ideas and profit by the d iscuss ing of a mutually dominant sUbject .

Progress in the arts and sciences i s made by accumulat ing the knowledge and advancements of one age and superimpos ing it on that whi ch i s already known . It might be l ikened to the bui lding of a struc­ture whi ch is added to by each generat ion . As in the construct ion of a house the foundat ion must be firmly placed to support the superstructure , s o the advancement of personal ident i fi cation must be made on a f i rm foun­dat ion , each contr ibut ion securely f itted and properly placed . The f in­gerprint system is the newes t contribution to ident ification and the most accura te . But i t s future depends on a thorough painstaking method of adaptation to dai ly problems by thoughtful ly applying that which is known and scient i fi cally pursuing the new ideas to a logical conclus ion . Thi s goal may b e achieved through the work of thi s organizat ion .

The Internat ional Associat ion for Ident i ficat ion i s a tremen­dous force in lessening the toll of cr ime . The vigilance of its members in thousands of instances has resulted in the capture of vicious crimi ­nals who otherwise might have gone free . Criminals may change the i r names , they may seek plastic surgeons to alter the i r appearance , they may buy po l it i cal pressure in order to remain free , they may seek the shadows of crimina l h ideouts , but once the ir fingerpr i nt s trave l into the I dent i ­f icat i o n Div i s ion of the Federal Bureau of Invest igat i on , a s bull t up through the enthus ias t i c cooperat ion of the ident ification men of thi s country , l ittle t ime passes before all o f the ir efforts are made use l e s s by the i r fingerpri nts upon a master card and the notice wh i ch announces that thi s man i s wanted .

We of the FBI welcome thi s opportunity to meet the members of the IAl and to be a part in the program which makes for better identi­ficat i on .

INTERNATioNAL 'EXCHANGE'

èrequently the act ivities of cr iminals extend beyond the borders ' ' o 'f the Uni ted States , or the criminal s may seek security out of the jurisdic­t i on of s tate and Federal authori t ies. The Federal Bureau of Investigat i on , therefore, has arranged with the identification bureaus of foreign countr i e s to eXChange criminal identifying data in cases of mutual interes t . Finger­prints and cr iminal records of persons arrested in thi s ' 60unéry are routed to the appropriate fore ign bureaus in cases wherein the interested agency in the United States has reason tb bel ieve an individual in custody may have

' a record i n or be wanted by the other nati on . S imilarly , the f ingerprints ' of persons arrested outsi de the continental Uhi ted States are referred by'

the for e i gn bureaus to the Federal Bureau of Invest igat i on for search in its f iles , when i t would appear a record may be disclosed by a search of the

' ' Bureau's record s . 'Numerous idEmt ificat'ions , some of'fugltives , have been efêected in thii manner and i ë i s b l ieved,thìt the coíplete deîelopïent of, '

DEVELQfMENT .OF . . ElNG RPRINTING

History is replete with instances where laCk of identity de­feated a cause., 1n personal aclt-ivi,ty t,oday , it may be only a check that is desired to be cashed 1 yet, the. i:nabili ty. to establi sh personal identity nega­ti ves the dÜs.ired result. , '

. From the 9a,rliest annals of history personal identification of some character has been in vogue . . . Members of one savage tribe were d istin­guished from those af another through distinctive attire or even bodily dec­orations such as Scars resulting from self-inflicted cuts or burns . In the earlier c i vi l i zations1· diff.erences in the dress of yarious social classes were clearly defined, sometimes by-taw but more often through the sanction of custom.- The branding of cr.iminals.a,nd slaves was practiced also at a time when no other method or identification ·was known, and various forms of tat­tooing were used by the Romans to identify and to prevent the desertion of mercenary s oldiers. In our presenÝ civilization , some tradesmen or crafts­men st ill wear distinctive attire while the armed forces of various nations are identified readily by uniforms. These are all forms of personal identi­fication , so commonplace thei r Significance may remain unobserved unless called to notice .

During the ages when man-was seeking a.method of personal identi­f ication, he was carrying on· the inside of the !'bulb" or nail joint of each finger, numerous ridge formati ons or patterns, each pos sess ing definite,

. distinctive outlines, by which'positive identification could have been made. Physiologist s are not 'in agreeillen't why nature provided these dis t inctive formations of ridges and depressions on the fingertips. They occur else­where on the human body; notably on the s oles of the feet and palms of the hands but with far less regularity of pattern outline and contour. Some authorit ies submit that t'he ridges o.ffset and l essen wear while others con­tend they.as sist the sense of touch, create.a "friction" surface to the skin , enable an object t o be grasped more readily than would be the case were the fingert ips smooth'; and' elevate the pores' enabling the ducts to discharge perspiration more freely. Regardless,of the reas on, for their existence the fact remains that these ridge formations , permanently a part of the body , d i scernible as a rule about three month6 before birth , remain unchanged during the life of an indi vidual and until putrefaction sets in after death and that no two fingers have been found whereon the patterns are identical . Insofar as s cience has been able to determine , these ridges do not indicate definitely character , race , sex or heredi ty. The ridges, as stated , remain c-onstant through l if e although. they may ·be affected through deep cuts or burns going beneath the tissue to the ducts, whose outline they follow , aÞd further they may be rendered ind i stinct , for a time , through some occupation­al activity, such a s· mortar·or-pl aster work or dishwashing. However , such effacement i s temporary .only as -the ridges ·assume their former outlines with defini te precision shortly aftßr an .individual is removed from such forms of-work .

Chronologically the Chinese are attributed priority in f inger­print ing . But in attempting ..to trace the origin of the fingerprint s cience

a distinct ion must be drawn between man's real izat i on that the t ips of his f ingers bear a d ivers ified ridge construct ion and the appl icat ion of this knowledge to the problem of personal ident i f i cat i on ; the f irst i s a matter of idle observati on , the s econd the resul t of development and s tudy. On the face of a c l iff in Nova Scotia can be found an I ndian carving or "picð ture wri ti ng" of t he outl ine of a hand with r idges and patterns c learly but c rudely marked . The Chinese had used fingerpri nts in various forms centu­r i e s ago and many references thereto can be found in authoritat ive wri t ings . In fact , the Chinese seem to have employed f inger and hand impress ions for s eal ing documents and for other purpos e s although the exact symbol i sm of the i r action is unknown . The imaginati on of the English wood engraver , Bewick, was apparently aroused by a real i zation of the poss ibi l i t i e s of uti l izing finger impres s i ons to establish the genuineness of hi s work , for late in the e i ghteenth century , he resorted to the practice of engraving the impression of his finger on s everal of h i s woodcuts . The Assyr ians al s o made u s e of the f inger and thumb impres s i ons a s 8, manual seal .

Marcel l o Malpighi in 1 686 made the first known s c i entific obser­vat i on relating particularly to fingerprints . He was a professor of anatomy at the Univers i ty o f Bologna , I taly , and alluded to the r idges whi c h "de­scribe d ivers figures . I I I n 1 823 J . E . Purkinj e , a professor of anatomy at the Univers i ty of Breslau , publ i shed a treat ise or commentary wherein he c ited the divers i ty of ridge patterns connected wi th the organs of touch and even evolved a differentiation of these patterns i nto nine variet i e s .

There i s a d ivers i ty of opinion as to the f i rst prac t i cal appl i ­cat i on of fingerpri nts a s a means of poa i t ive ident ificat i on . I t i s true that the imperfect impres s i ons l eft on 'cl iffs and woodcuts and the Chinese f inger and hand s ignatures were not suff i c i ently clear for close compari s on and they may have been manifestations of the early bel i ef , whi ch to s ome extent pervades the law of sealed instruments today , that personal contact conveys s ome nebular essence to the thing touched from the person touching i t , thereby elevat ing i t i n dign ity and binding effect . Certain i t i s , that the comments of Malpighi and Purkin j e were l ittle more than scholarly or phys i ological treat i s e s on the mere phenomenon , of r idge divers i ty from a factual bas i s and lacked the concluding concept i on of the i r pract ical value as media o f ident i fi cat ion . Doctor Henry Faulds I an Engl i sh author i ty on the SUbject of dactylography, wrote the f i rst art icle on the practi cal use of fingerpri nt s for the identi f i cat i on of criminals . In 1880 , Doctor Faulds , who was connected at that t ime with the Taukij i Hospital at Tokyo , Japan , conducted exper iments whic h established that the varieties of individual fingerprint patterns were very great and that the pat'terns remained unchange­abl e . Doctor Faulds publ ished the results of h i s experiments in a l etter appear ing in the magaz ine " Nature " October 28 , 1 880 . Shortly after the ap­pearance of his art i cle , S i r W i l l iam Herschel , Chief Administrat ive Off icer i n the Hooghly district of Bengal , India , wrote an art icle for the same magazine comment ing upon the success with whi ch he had ut i l ized fingerpr ints for twenty years i n identifying government pens ioners in prevent ing imper­s onation and repudiati on and in ident i fying pr i s oners committed to j ai l . It appears that Doctor Fa,ulds was the first t o write concerning the prac t i ­c a l u s e of f ingerprints and that Sir W i l l i am Herschel wñs the f i rst to make

1 6

extens ive use of them . However , n e i ther developed a method of classif i cat ion suitabl e for general use and the intens ive appl ication of f ingerpri nt ident i­ficat i on .

S i r Franci s Galton , the Engl ish sci ent i s t , became interested in the subject through his study of heredity . He not only e stabl i shed by ex­tended investigations that no two fingerprints were al ike but devi sed the f irst collect ions of f ingerprint records . As a consequence of h i s work , a commi ttee was appo inted by the Brit ish Government to cons ide r the advisa­bil i ty of employing the fingerpr int system in the ident i f i cation of criòi­nals . Gal ton's art icles relat ing to f i ngerprints were publ i shed i n 1892 and 1893 . Shortly thereafter , Juan Vucetich , noted Argent ine Dactyloscopist , claimed to have made h i s f irst criminal ident ification through thó medium of f ingerpr ints . Then , Sir E . R . Henry , later Commiss i oner of Pol i ce · of Scotland Yard , London , England , who engaged in the . study o rdered by the Brit i sh Government , in order to lessen the d i fficulty of deal i ng with large collect ions of f i ngerpri nts devi s ed a s impl er yet more comprehens ive bas i s of f i l ing and class i fying print s . His' system was successfu l ly i ntroduced i nto England and Wales in July , 1901 , and forms the bas i s of the present sys­tem empl oyed by all ident ificat i on bureaus · in the United Stat e s as well as other Engl i sh speaking countries while the Vucetich system. has been adopted principally by those nat ions wherein Spanish is the· state language .

The f irst authent i c record of the use of fingerprints i n the United States reveals that Gilbe rt Thompson of the Uni ted Stat e s Geological Survey ut il ized his thumb impress i on t o prevent the forgery o f commis sary orders dur ing h i s supervis ion o f a survey in New Mexico in 1882 . The f i rst pract i cal introduct ion of f ingerprints for criminal ident i f i cation i n the Uni ted States i s claimed by the pr ison system of New York State , based on the adopt ion ' of the system at S ing. Sing Pri s on on June· 5 , 1903 , although the files of the Department of Correcti on at Albany contai n f ingerprints of S tate prisoners from the ins t itutions at . S ing S ing , Napanoch , Auburn and Cl inton , which show that they were class if ied as . early as March , 1903 , by Captain James H . Parke , employed in the office of the then Superintendent of Pr i s­ons , Cornel ius V . Collins . Then , on September 24 , 1904 ; Mr . R . W . McC laughry , Warden of the Uni ted States Peni t entiary at Leavenworth , Kansas , requested author i ty of the Attorney General to undertake suff i cient expendi tures for equipment to take fingerprints of Federal prisoners , whi ch authorizat i on was granted him November 2 , 1904 , only f ive days after the system was intro­duced in the pol ice department o f St . Lou i s , Mis sour i , by an officer of Scotland Yard , who was guarding the Queen ' s Jubilee presents , on exhibit ion at the St . Lou i s Exposit ion in that year .

Subsequently the use o f dactylography for the ident i f i cat i on of criminals rapidly increased unt i l today it is the most important factor in ident i f i cation work in the Uni ted States . Pol ice departments , she r i ffs , state pol ice organizat i ons , federal agencies , penal ins t i tuti ons and others real i zed the benefits to be der ived from thi s comparat ively s imple and pos i '­t ive method of ident ificat ion and gradual ly discont inued the use of Bert il­lon ' s anthropometrical system. Local bureaus were establ i shed and employees instructed in the te.king , class i fying , s earching and fil ing o f f ingerprint

17

records . The small cost of the equipment and training readily permitted the adopt ion of fingerpr int ident i fi cat ion in all sect i ons of the country . In o rder to cope with the problem presented by migratory criminals , state bu­reaus were establ i shed to act as l ocal clearing houses for the informat ion submi tted by the i r correspondents . At the present t ime many states and c i t ies maintain bureaus which contain collect i ons of fingerpr int records . These organizat i ons cooperate with one another and with the Federal Bureau of Invest igat ion and render valuable service in the ident i f i cat ion of crimi­nal s .

The Internat ional Assoc iat ion of Chiefs of Pol ice , which embraces i n its membership the heads of pol i ce departments of most of the princ ipal c i t i es of the Uni ted States and Canada , in 189 6 , had establ ished a bureau at Chicago , I l l ino is, whi ch was removed later to Washington , D . C . , known as the Nat i onal Bureau of Criminal Ident i f i cat ion , for the purpose of compil ing Bert i llon records . As its members discont inued the use of Bert i l l on measure­ments and began adopt ing the fingerpr int system , the Nat ional Bureau o f Criminal Ident i fication gradually acquired a valuable collect ion of finger­print records . As previously menti oned , the United States Department of Just ice establ ished a fingerpr int bureau at the Leavenworth Peni tent iary , Leavenworth , Kansas, in 1904 , whi ch first contained the fingerprints of Fed­eral pri soners only , but thi s bureau soon expanded the scope of its opera­t i ons by maintaining a free exchange service whereby criminal records were re­c e ived and c ircular i zed among a growing l i st of contribut ing peace officers .

The growing and ins istent demand by pol i c e off i c ials throughout the country for one system of cooperat ion on a nat i onal scale f inal ly re­sulted i n the creat i on of the Ident i f i cation Divi s ion whi ch was placed under the jurisdict ion of the Federal Bureau of Investigat ion . In 1924 , this new­ly organized Div i s i on rece ived and consol idated in Washington , D . C . , the records of both the Nat ional Bureau of Criminal Ident i f i cation and t he Leavenworth Penitent iary Bureau , and s ince its creation has shown a remark­able growth and development . On September 1 , 1 937 , it possessed 7 , 558 , 997 f i ngerprint records of actual current value and 8 , 572 , 542 name index cards . There were in excess of 10 , 500 law enforcement agenc ies throughout the Uni ted States and fore ign countries submitt ing prints to the Bureau on that date . The extent to whi ch law enforcement offic ials ut i l i ze the servi ces of the Federal Bureau of Invest igat ion is indi cated by the following stat i st i c s covering the act ivities o f the Bureau during the twelve month per i od beginô n ing July 1 , 1936 , and ending June 30 , 1 937 :

Fingerpri nt records ( Cr iminal and c ivi l ) rece ived . . . I , 382 , 666 Number of Criminal Ident ificat ions answered . . . . . . . . . . 468 , 664 Percentage of Criminal Ident ifi õat ions answered . . . . . . 54 . 4%

The procedure ut i l ized by the Federal Bureau of Invest igat ion i n furni shing i nformat i on concerning the thousands of fingerprint records rece ived dai ly from peace off icers is both accurate and expeditious . The f i rst operat ion cons ists in recording the pr ints whi ch then pass to the technical sect i on where experts class ify them and carefully search through the master f iles for cards having fingerprint impress i ons that are ident i cal

18

with those appearing on the current prints .

In many of the subdivi s i ons in the fingerprint f i les of the Ident i f ication Divi s i on , the number of fingerprint c ards has grown to such an extent that s earching them by hand has become unw ieldy . In these sub­divi s i ons a system of searching by machine has been adopted . Under th i s system a punched card i s made whi ch card i s punched according t o a formul a represent ing the vari ous f ingerprint character istics appearing on ' each f i n ­gerprint card . A select ing machine i s then ut i l i zed whlch i s ve ry simi l ar to the multiple card s orting mach ine whi ch i s found i n many commorc i a l house s t oday .

In order to reduce the possibil ity of error , s omet imes present when indist inct prints are be ing examined , each print i s again s earched i n the card index f i les for s imi lar names and al iases . When an ident ificat i on has been establ i shed , the current print is sent t o the assembly sect ion where the c ompl ete record of the individual is assembled and checked . The f inal operat i on is performed by the typing section , whi ch prepares letters advis­ing the interested off i c ials of the informat i on appearing in the record s . Over 5 , 000 f ingerprint rec ords are now received dai l y by the Federal Bureau of Investigati on and inquiries are answered by l etter wi thin thirty-s ix

' hours of the ir råce ipt . The subj æcts of over fifty per c ent of a l l criminal fingerprints now being routed to the Bureau are found t o have pri or rec ords as the f i les are searched . Whenever necessary , as where fugitives are be­ing held in custody , t e l egraph i c repl ies are t ransmitted by the Bureau t o interested agenc ies . Approximately 500 fugitives are ident ified by the Bu­reau each month when i ts f ingerprint experts c ompare the impressions on current prints with those in the f i les , whereon the f ugitive status of any indi vidual is noted at the request of the interested peace offi cer .

' In February , 1 933 , the Federal Bureau of I nvestigati on instal l e d

a s ingle fingerprint sys t em . Due t o the voluminous f ingerprint f i le now i n existence in the Bureau , i t became necessary t o conf ine this study t o the f ingerprints of a certain l imited class or classe's of criminals :1.n order that the s ingle f ingerprint file thus developed might be most c omprehens i ve wi thout becoming too l arge whi l e in its construct i ve stages . After c on­s iderat i on , known gangsters and persons charged w i tIl the crimes of bank robbery , bank burglary , kidnaping , and extort i on were selected as being of suff i c i ent general interest to serve a practical purpose and yet prevent the file from growing too rapidly . In these f ields of c r ime recently entered by gangsters and the i r i l k , latent f ingerprints often will be found t o b e quite preval ent on extortion letters , a t the s cene o f the c r ime , upon the abandoned automob i l e , at the rendezvous where the victim was held i f i t be subsequently locate d , etc . On July 1 , 1937 , thi s f i l e c ontained the s ingle f ingorprints of approximately 13 , 700 individual s whose names have been connected at some time in the pas t with bank robbe r i e s , bank burglaries , racketeering , kidnaping , or extort i on . Thi s c onst itutes a t otal of 137 , 000 s ingle f ingerprints whi ch have already been C l as s i fi ed and i ndividually f i led under the system .

Heretofore i t has not been poss ibl e for the Federal Bureau of

19

Invest igation to rece ive latent f ingerpr ints for comparison or search i n its f i l e s unless the names of suspects in connec t i on with the crime involved have been furnished and i t has been pOE!si ble to l ocate the i r fingerprints . I t would, of course, be impracticable to attempt to examine the majority of 7 , 500 , 000 cards , clas s i fied and f iled under the Henry System , i n order to attempt to f ind a f inger impression ident ical with a s ingle latent pri nt .

With the instal lat i on of a s ingl e fingerprint f i l e i t i s now possible for the Bureau to rece ive for search through thi s f i l e , latent f i ngerpr ints ·found at the s cene of a crime , part icularly · when such crime i s of a bank robbery , bank burglary , kidnaping or extortion nature , and the Bureau invites the contribution for search through thi s f i l e of "such l atent f inger impres s i ons . Such latent f ingerprints will be searched through the s ingle f ingerprint f i le , and if not identified but suscept ible of class i­f i cation they will be f i led in the Bureau for poss ible future i dent i f i cation as new c riminal suspects are added to the f i le . If the crime i s not one of bank robbery , kidnaping, or extort ion the Bureau will be pleased to rece ive l atent fingerprints in connection therewith, provided the names or f inger­p rints of suspects are furni shed in order that the latent impress ions may be compared with the f ingerprints of such suspects .

The general appearance f i l e of the S ingle " Fingerprint Section c ons ists of the photographs and descript ions of the individual s entered in the s ingle f ingerprint f i l e . The descript i ons are obtained from the f inger­print records furni shed the Bureau by law enforcement agenc i e s and by per­s onal observat ion by Agents of the Bureau where pract i cal . These descrip­t ions are l i sted on a numbered general appearance form whi ch number appears on the complete record of that individual in the s ingle fingerprint f i l e . Upon rece ipt of these forms in the Bureau the descript ion of the individual i s transferred to a punch card whi ch contains in a code form a l l of the characteri stics appearing in the general appearance form . The se punch cards are f i l ed for future reference .

In order to expedi te handl ing , these cards are f iled primarily according to sex and color , secondarily as to he ight and we ight and each

. of these groups " are further d ivided as to year of birth . The general ap­pearance forms are f i led i n .numer ical sequence according to the report num­ber appearing in the upper l eft-hand corner .

Searches are made through the general appearance f i l e at the request of Agents of the Bureau and law enforcement agenc ies based upon the descr ipt ions of the unknown individual s obtained from witne s se s . Thi s i n­formation i s placed on a general appearance form and submitted to the Bureau . Photographs of these individual s whi ch also bear the numbers appear ing on the general appearance forms are withdrawn from the file and replaced w i th the charge-out cards and the photographs forwarded to the i nterested offi ­c ial s .

The.modus operandi" f i l e of bank robberies of the S ingl e Finger­print Section i s based upon the theory that individuals or gangs once suc­cessful in the perpetrat ion of a robbery by usinö one m÷thod will c9ntinue

20

to use a similar method in future robberies, where possible .

There are six main divisions which are basic factors in the re­cording of the modus operandi in each robbery . These divisions are explain­ed and examples given on the reverse side of the modus operandi form. Each of these main divisions is subdivided by "key words" in order to facilitate searching through the file .

Modus operandi reports are received as a result of investiga­tions of bank robberies by Bureau Agents . On receipt of a report , the same is "key worded" and searched through those subdivisions of the modus oper­andi file . Through this method possible similarities to other bank rob­beries , if any , are quickly noted and the information supplied to interested officials .

During the latter part of 1933 , as a result of considerable public interest in civil identification , the Federal Bureau of I nvestigation established a civil file which has now become the Civil Identification Sec-· tion of its Identification Division , and has accepted for inclusion in it , fingerprint cards of citizens who wish to record their fingerprints for possible future reference . A special card bearing the words "Personal Iden­tification" is furnished to citizens who desire to forward their finger­prints to this file . There are over 400 , 000 personal identification finger­print records in the civil files at the present time . Upon receipt of these fingerprints they are c lassified and placed in the civil identification files entire iy separate from the criminal records .

Effective results have been obtained in criminal identification in the United States and abroad and the benefits following scientific methods in this important phas e of police work have been established definitely . Through its collection and "clearing house" of criminal fingerprints, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is able to furnish valuable aid to all peace agencies . However, it is obvious that complete records are required to se­cure the maximum efficiency . Without full cooperation in this respect the progress of crimiàal identification would be retarded . The Bureau is pleased of the opportunity to serve law enforcement agencies in their identification activi ties and to render every possible assistanc e , not only in current matters but in the solution of special problems .

FUGITI VES FROM JUSTICE WANTED FOR MURDER

As an extension of cooperation with local law enforcement of­ficers, the Federal Bureau of Invest i gation will circularize Identifica­tion Orders on fugitives from justice who are wanted for murder by local police departments .

A police department desiring to issue an Identif i cation Order for a badly wanted murderer fugitive from justice should communicate direct ­ly with the Field Division Office of the Federal Bureau o f Investigation covering his territory .

CIVIL IDENTIFICATION

The f ingerpr int method has been looked upon with prej udice and repuls ion as being exc l us i vely a pol i ce measure ; i t i s cons idered an infamy , proper only for thieves and murderers and unworthy of a decent c i ti zen . Thi s prejudice i s fast los ing ground before sc i entific propaganda and educa­tion . Dactyloscopy should penetrate i nto c ivi l, criminal , commer c i al , ad­ministrative and i nternational laws in order to offer its benefi t s to c ivi­l ized s oc iety .

We have readi ly adopted the fingerprint to criminal identif i ca­t i on . The early introduc t i on i n c ourts of f i ngerprints a s evidence in I ndia , and their s imi lar use in Ameri ca i n criminal cases early associated a f ingerpri nt with a criminal . The first opini on i n Ameri ca on fingerpr int identif icati on was passed on in People vs . Jennings , 252 I l l . 534 - 96 N . E . 1 077 , 43 L . R . A . ( N. S . ) 1206 ( l9l l ) , and has been followed by a series of c ourt deci s i ons in j ur isdic t i ons throughout the nati on .

But i f we l imit the use of fingerpr ints t o cr iminal identifica­t i on we bestow upnn an enemy of s oc iety the most perfect method of pos i tive identifi cation and deprive the lawful c itizen of the advantages of thi s same system to whi ch he i s enti tled . A prej udice against f ingerprinting i s the only reason offered oppos ing the submis s i on of fingerprints by c itizens .

The advantages of civil f ingerprints are patent . Their use would el iminate the l oss susta ined by the cashing of bad checks ; the over­lapping and dup l i cati on of personnel rec ords would be reduced ; l osses oc­cas i oned by fraudulent c onveyances and transfers of property would be cur­tai led ; unknown dead c ould be identified ; the locat i on of amnes ia and drug victims , mi ss ing persons , suic ides , acc ident vict ims and others c ould be determined .

The use of f ingerprints would aid pers onnel managers to estab­l ish identi ty of app l icants , protect bus iness aga inst bus iness frauds ; vital statistics would be improved , parentage would be def initely f ixed . Of c ours e , crime would b e reduced b y preventing violat i on o f s chool and labor laws , and laws governing pawn shops , as thieves could not give false names and dispose of l oot . These and many more are s ome of the reasons support ing c i v i l ian f ingerprinting.

At the rate of approximately one thousand a day f ingerprints are being received in the Identificat i on Divis i on of the Federal Bureau of I n­vestigati on to swel l the c ol lection of 400 , 000 fingerprint cards of reputable ci tizens al ready on f i l e . Thi s shows that the problem of bui lding up a better understanding of the value of c iv i l ian f ingerprint ing i s progress ing gradual l y , but surely , and that thi s educati onal process w i l l c over the enti re c oun-try. The importance of thi s p i oneering project i s such that every ident if i cat i on off i cer should c onstitute himself a mis s i onary al ong these l i nes .

However , if the

and grier have resulted from a lack of i dentification and the inabi l i ty to furnish proof of i ndividual i dentity and good standing i n the various com­muni t ies of our country . For this reason it , i s impossible to overest imate the value of the w i despread development of this infa l l ible , immutabl e , unchangeabl e method of i dent i f i cation . There are cases of acci dents with no immediate means of i dentification about which we read dai ly . Ins tances of amnesia or the 10S8 of memory are patheticai ly numerous . Cas e s of this nature inVOlve individual s of respectabi l i ty and stabi l ity in the i r various communities who have wandered away through loss of memory and suffer hard­ships that cannot be exaggerated through inabil i ty to i dentify themselves properly and thus regain the protection and care of relatives and friends .

The loss of i dent i ty through acc i dental death means the complete shutt ing off of knowledge as to the fate of the ioved one , which uncertainty cont inues throughout the years and- brings suffering which , i n many instances , i s worse than death t o those who must , through long days and n i ghts , ponder with f ear and t repidation as to the fate of the missing one and ' go down into the i r graves s t i l l without know l e dge of the c ircumstances under whi ch those in whom they are vital ly interested met their demise .

I t i s an i ronical s ituation when a criminal has a far better chanc e of be ing properly i denti f i e d in the case of acc i dental or sudden death than the i ndividual who has l ived respectably in his communi ty a l l of hi s l if e I who has pai d taxes , who has rendered public s ervi c e of marked value , but who , because of the lack of 'an infal l ible method of i denti f i­cat ion that all criminals possess t hrough the practical ly universal finger­printing of the lawl ess element , must often be buried in a pauper I s grave and remain an enigma , so far as his fate i s concerned , to hi s family for the balance of t he i r exi stences .

Another instance whic h shows the importance of f i ngerprinting is that of kidnaping . Often when a c hi l d or an adult has been taken from hi s fam i ly the worse suffering i s t he uncertainty as t o whe ther those who c ommuni cate with the family and who claim to possess the pers on of the vic­tim are real ly the kidnapers , or are indivi dual s who des ire t o use the op­portuni ty to ext ort money f rom an al ready distraught fami ly. f ingerprints ' of the kidnaped individual are on f i le , ther'iOl wou l d be i n a l l these case s an unquestionable method o f settl ing the problem as t o whether an indivi dual was held by a group who was respons ible for the k i dnaping or by s ome other !l gang . "

There s hould be n o stigma whatever to this method of i dentifi­cat i on i f f ingerprinting i s properly c ons idered. There shou l d be no more reas on why the permanent recording of t he ridges of the f ingers of a person s houl d carry with them any greater s t i gma than that involved in the wri t ing of an indivi dual s ignature , or giving t he descript i on of ourselves ' which ap­

curity to the individuals whose fingerprints are recorded , reflect ing sub­stantial standing in the community .

The history of c ivil fingerprint ing in the Federal Bureau of In­vest igation began the latter part of 1933 . As a result of widespread publ i c interest i n civil ident i f i cat i on the c ivil files were started. Thi s i s now known as the C ivil Ident ifi cati on Section of the Ident ificat i on Divi s i on . Included in this f i l e are the fingerprint cards of c i t izens who desire to record the ir fingerprints for future reference. A spec ial card , different from the criminal fingerprint card , whi ch bears the words "personal identi­ficat ion" is suppl ied to all persons who wish to forward the i r f ingerprints for inclus ion in thi s f i l e . Upon the rece ipt of the fingerprint cards they are class if ied and placed in the c ivil identificat i on f i l es . They are then available for ready reference if the individual should meet wi th any mishap which would make i t necessary to determine his identi ty .

I t must be pointed out that the Federal Bureau of Investigation does not engage in civi l identificat ion work with private individual s and organizations who do fingerprint work on a commerc ial bas is , but personal identi f i cation cards will be suppl i ed to law enforcement agenc ies upon re­quest , and these cards wi ll also be furni shed to private c i t izens at their request for the i r own use .

C ivil fingerprints are be ing rece ived by the Federal Bureau of Investigation from all sections of the country. The number coming into Washington is constantly on the increase . I t i s interesting to observe that civic organizations , luncheon clubs , welfare organizations , s chools , women ' s clubs , and expositions have submitted fingerprints unt i l at present the number averages approx imately one thousand daily whi ch are received at the Federal Bureau of Investigat ion . In addition , many fingerprints are re­ce ived from state hosp itals located in var ious sections of the country and included in the personal ident ification files .

The c ivil fingerprinting act ivi ties of the Federal Bureau of Investigation are not l imited to the bounds of our own country , but the interest is internati onal . During one month of the previous f iscal year fingerprint cards were received from Austral ia , Germany , England , Hawai i , Phi l ippine I slands , Mexico , Puerto Rico and Canada to be included in the civil identi f i cation section .

In many instances the recording of fingerprints has proved of invaluable assistance to those suff i c i ently foresighted enough to have had the i r fingerprints recorded with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I n the vast maj ority of instances this good fortune cons i sted , i roni cally enough , in having a cr iminal pas t. However , the po int to be emphas ized i s the seeming incongruity of permitt ing those criminally incl ined t o possess advantages in the matter of indi sputable fingerprint recording that do not accrue to and are not demanded by the great mass of our law-abiding , peace­ful populat ion .

An example of the use of fingerprints for personal identification

24

is that of the case of an unfortunate person whose body was recently found in the Connecti cut r iver where i t had apparently rested for several weeks .

The Chief of Pol ic e at Brattl eboro , Vermont , forwarded the f in­gerprints of this dead man to the Federal Bureau of I nve s t igation together with a rough descr ipt i on inc 1ud·ing the tattoo marks on him . The impressions of only seven fingers we re recorded and in some instances these impressions were incomplete and indistinct . Because tattoo marks i nd i cated the possi­bi l i ty that the deceased person had served in the Army , his f inge r impres­s ions were searched through the fingerpr int f i l e s of the War Department and ident ified with a complete set of fingerpr ints there for an individual who had enl i sted in the Army at Syracuse , New York , in July of 1 928 for service in the Phi l ippines .. He gave at the t ime of his enl i stment a s treet address in Boston , Massachusetts , and the person to be not i f i ed in case of emergency was his father , a res ident of Os lo , Norway . A complete s e t of this person ' s f i ngerprints were obtained from the War Department and searched through the f i ngerprint f i les of the Fede ra l Bureau of Invest igat ion , be ing ident ified as the one who had been arrested for vari ous minor offens e s .

Soon after the f i ngerprints of this individua l were rece iyed by the Federal Bureau of Investiga t i on , a second letter was rece ived from .the Chief of Pol ice at Brattleboro , Vermont , indicat ing that a woman had part ial­ly ident i f i ed the body taken from the Connecticut River a s that of her son who had enl i sted in the United States Navy at the age of 1 5 , us ing the name of an older brothe r , and at the age of 16 enl isted in the Uni ted States Army under s t i l l another name .

At the War Department the fingerprints of this latter person were obtained and compared with those of the deceøsed man , . be ing found not to be ident i ca l . The Chief of Po l ice was advi sed in ful l . His letter of response indicated that he had communi cated with the dead man ' s father in Oslo , Nor­way , and also with the woman who had mi stakenly t e l ieved the drowned person to be her son . The r e l i ef of thi s sorrow-stricken mothe r can we l l be imagi ned .

Amnesia yearly c la imù thousands of vi.c:t ims . I t i s through the Identi f ication Divi s i on of the Fe:leral Bureau of Inve s t i gat ion that many such persons are identi f i ed . The tragedy of an individual who is unabl e to rega in consciousness of his own ident i ty i s perhaps as sad as the human imaginati on can conce ive . "Thi s man cannot remember hi s name or where he comes from" was the information rece ived Vii th a f i ngerprint card from the Po l ic e Department at Mi lford , Connecticut , on February 1 6 , 1 937 , i n the Ident i f i cation Divi s i on of· the Federa l Bureau of Investigat i on . Upon search­ing , these impressions were found to be ident i cal with a set of f ingerpri nts rece ived on November 1 5 , 1935 , . from the Po l i ce Department a t Boston , Massa­chusetts .

The f i l e of this person further indicated hi s s treet and post off i c e address , as we l l as his place of birth. These data were imme :liate1y telegraphed to the Pol i ce Department at Boston , Massachusetts , to a iq that

In instances of thi s character , finger­prints are of inest imable value .

The d isasters of land and sea--cataclysms of nature--are evi l s against which man has fought from t ime immemorial . Without warning they come , and al l that i s be l i eved s tabl e and rel iable falters in the i r face . The recent floods of the Ohi o and Mi s i s s ippi rivers caused a cons iderable number of untimely deaths along the banks of these r i vers . Many unknown dead persons weri buried whos e ident i ty wi 1 1 remain forever unknown and whose fate wi l l always be a mystery and a s ource of anxiety to those imme­diate ly concerned .

It w i l l be reca l led that in September of 1935 there occurred in Southern F l orida , a di sastrous hurricane . On September 1 3 of that year the Federal Bureau of Investigat i on rece i ved the fingerprints of 36 unknown deceased pers ons who had been k i l led i n the hurricane . A l l attempts t o establ i sh the ident ities o f these persons proved of n o use i n the community . The i r fingerprints were immediately checked against the f i l es in the Bureau and five of these unknown dead were ident ified . Furthermore , valuable in­f ormati on as to the names and res idences of relatives and fri endS of the deceased pers ons was d i scl osed . Wi thin a few hours after the fingerprints were rece i ved i n the Bureau a communi cati on was addressed to the offi cials i n Flor ida who had forwarded them , advi s ing them of the identities of these f i ve pers ons and of all other pertinent informati on appearing i n the f i l es of the Bureau .

Many of the school chi ldren whose bodies were mangl ed beyond recognit i on in the explos i on of the school at New London , Texas , last spring could have been ident ified if there had been on f i l e complete f inge rprint records for them .

The prejudice that exi sts against thi s ind isputable , valuabl e means of permanent ident ification i s a strange reflect i on o f the vagaries of the human mind . It i s bel ieved that as more and more instances arise in which thi s permanent ident ifying information i s effect ively used the seem­ing averã i on i n s ome circl es to civi l fingerpr int ing w i l l vani sh and i t wi l l become an essential part of regi strat i on data for each chi ld born in the world . The Federal Bureau of Investigat i on i s ready at a l l times to cooper­ate to the utmost with a l l i ndividua l s and agenci es interested in thi s great worK .

FINGERPR INT RECORDS FURNISH INTERESTI NG I NFORMAT ION

CONCERNING CR IMINALS

Fingerprint records rece ived by the FBI from law enforcement agenc ies throughout the Uni ted States serve as a source of much enlighten­ing information regarding the age , sex , race and previous criminal hi story o f persons arrested. Thi s i s , of course , in add i t i on to the ir primary function of establi shing pos i t i vely the ident ity of persons arrested . There are presented in this art i c le certain bas ic facts concerning the types of persons arrested because i t i s believed that all law enforcement officers w i ll des i re to possess such i nformation .

During the first half of the calendar year 1937·, the FBI examineä 251 , 575 arrest records as revealed by fingerprint cards , and it was found tha t more than 30 per cent of the records represented persons taken into custody for murder , robbery, assault , burglary , larceny and auto theft .

Only 17 , 745 ( 7 . 1% ) of the records represented females . A com­par i son of the charge s placed against an average group of 1 , 000 females ar­rested and an average group of 1 , 000 males arrested lends some support to the often-heard statement that the female is the more deadly of the spec ies . Thi s i s indicated by the fact that in a compar i son of the two average groups there were 1 3 males charged w i th murder and 54 with assault , whereas there were 18 females charged with murder and 66 with assault . A further compari ­son of the two average groups of 1 , 000 males and 1 , 000 females reveals that the re were 7 males charged with vi olations of the narcotic drug laws and 25 female s . S imilarly, the figures for violat ion of laws rela t i ve to the dis­tribution of liquor were : males 18 , females 36 . The f i gures concerning arrests for drunkenness are , however , more favorable to the women, there be ing 168 males and 118 fem_le s arrested . In most of the rema i ning types of crimes there was a predominance of male arrests over those of females .

Since the last half of the calendar year 1935 , there have been more arrests for ages 21 and 22 than for other age groups . Thi s trend was continued during the f i rst s ix months of 1937 , the number of arrests be ing larges t for age 22 . I t i s of interest to note that pri or t o the middle of 1935 arrests of persons 19 years of age outnumbered the arrests for any other s ingle age group . However , dur ing the first half of 1937 the age groups in whi ch arrests occurred most frequently were as follows :

Age Number arrested 22 1 1 , 1 30 21 10 , 812 23 10 , 472 19 10 , 391

There were 45 , 210 persons under 21 years of age arrested and f ingerprinted during the f i rst half of 1937 . This number cons t i tutes 18 per cent of the total arre s t records examined . In add i t i on , the re wer e 42 , 058 ( 16 . 7%) arrests of persons between the ages o f 2 1 and 24 , making a total of 8 7 , 268 ( 34 . 7%) less than 2 5 years old . It shoul d be noted that

27

the s e figures relat ive to the number of youthful persons arrested are ex­tremely conservat ive , in view of the fact that many youthful persons taken into custody for crim×s are not fingerprinted .

Whi le persons under 21 years of age const ituted 18 per cent of the total number of persons arrested , they represented 13 per cent of those charged with criminal homic ide ; 28 per cent of those ' charged wi til robbery ; 42 per cent of thos e charged with burglary ; 30 per cent of those charged with larceny and 52 per cent of those charged with auto theft . The predomi­nance of youths among those charged with offenses against property i s fur­ther indi cated by the fact that for all types of cr imes 87 , 268 persons under 25 years of age were arrested , thus constitut ing 34 . 7 per cent of the total of 251 , 575 arrest records examined . However , youths under 25 numbered 53 per ' cent of those ' . charged with robbery , 61 per cent of ' those' charged with burglary , 48 per cent of those charged with larceny , and 73 per cent of those charged with auto theft .

. The frequen·t necessity for arres.t ing pers.ons. 'who ha.ve. previous­ly been convicted of crimes is indicated by the fact that · 75 , 248 of the persons arrested had previously been convicted of one or more offense s . Thi s number i s 30 per cent of the 251 , 575 arre st records examined . In 14 cases it was shown ' that persons charged with criminal homi cide dur ing the f irst half of 1937 had been previously convicted of homic ide ; and the com­pilation indicates a general tendency for recidivists to repeat the same type of crime . The tabulat ion further shows that the 75 , 248 persons whose records showed previous ' convict ions had been foØnd gui l ty of 193 , 442 crÙmesÚ an average of more than 2 per ind1 vidual ; 86 , 528 of the convict i ons were for maj or violat ions and 106 , 914 were for less serious j nfractions of the criminal laws .

Whi tes were represented -oy 185 , 121 of the records examined and Negroes by 55 , 565 . Other races were represented as follows : Indian , 1 , 32 1 ; Chinese , 543 ; Japanes e , 108 ; Mex ican , 7 , 823 ; all others , 1 , 094 . The ta.bula­t, i on indicates that of each 100 , 000 Negroes in the general population of the country , 691 were .rrested and fi ngerprinted during the f i rst hal f of 1937 , whereas the corresponding figure for nat ive . whi tes was 249 and for fore igrt-born . . ..vhi tea ' ID3 . However , thi's general relat ionship does' not hald true for all types of crimes . A1 .so , it should be observed. in connection w ith the foregoing that the f igure for nat ive white's includes ·the imme.diate descendants of fore ign-born individuals .

In view of the increase in the number of rapes and other sex crimes during recent months , i t may be of interest to note that there were 2 , 798 persons arrested and fingerprinted for rape and 4 , 193 for other sex offenses ( exclus ive of prostitution and commerc ial ized v i ce ) . The persons arrested on . those charges fall within the foll owing age groups :

As of August 30 , 1 937 , there were 10 , 580 pol i c e departments , peace offi cers and law enforcement agenc ies throughout the Uni ted States and fore ign countri e s voluntarily contributing f i nge rpri nts to the FBI .

Table s containing detailed figure s for ind ividual types of cr imes may be found in the bul letin "Uniform Crime Report s " whi ch will be furn i shed upon rÎques t to law enforcement officers .

M ILLIONS OF NAMES IN FBI INDEX COMPLICATE LOCATI ON OF RECORDS

On July 31 , 1937 , there were in the name f i l e s of the Identifi­cat i on Divis ion of the Federal Bureau of Invest igat ion , a total of 8 , 71 5 , 777 index cards . Obviously , among thi s s tupendous number of entr i e s , there are many names whi ch are repeated frequently . The name "John Smi th" appears on in1ex cards for over 9 , 000 persons . Eyen naÏes whi ch are not generally con­s idered as " common" names are repeated hundreds of t imes .

I t will be seen , therefore , that when the Ident i fi cati on Divi­s ion is requested to search for a criminal record upon the bas i s of a name , unl ess thi s name i s indeed a rare one , an extensive search i s frequently re­qui red . Hundreds of such searches are conducted each day for the purpose of identifying . records , photographs and f i ngÐrpr ints to be furnished to interested law enforcement off i c ials ; for the purpose of posting " d i spos i ­t i ons" o r other addi t ional data into the se records ; o r for the purpose of plac ing wanted notices in the Bureau ' s f i ngerpr int files so that i nterested agenc i e s may be not i f ied immed iately of informÑt ion sUbsequently rece ived .

The t ime necessari ly spent i n l ocating records wi thout f i nger­pr ints is materially reduced by the cooperat ion of law enforcement agenc ies in submitting t o the Bureau , i n addi t i on to the accurate name and all known al iases of the subj ect of a record , al l known arrest numbers , phys i cal de­script i on , and primary f ingerprint class i f i cation . Index cards under c ommon names are arranged by fingerpr int class i f i cation , and the primary clas s if i ­cat i on therefore l imits the necessary search substantially . O f course , when FBI numbers are available , thes e should always be supplied inasmuch as i t i s not then nec e ssary t o consul t the name i ndex a t a l l but s imply to draw the record from the f i l e s where i t i s depo s i ted in a regular sequence of the FBI numbers .

The d ' i spos i t i o n , wanted notice and death forms suppl i ed by thi s Bureau t o law enforcement agenc i e s have fpr s ome time contained a reques t for fingerprint c lassification , as well as other pertinent data required by the Bureau in making an identificat i on . References have also been made from time to time i n the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin to the des i rab i l i ty of submi tting the s e additional identi fying data tO , the Bureau .

THE IODINE-SILVER TRANSFER METHOD

F.OR RECORDING LATENT F I NGERPRI NTS

J OHN McMORRI S , P h . D .

A survey of the commonly prac t i ced methods f o r developing f i nger­prints cl early shows each to have certain d i s tinct individual defects along w i th , of course , the good qual i t ie s native to the method . Fingerprint powder , for exampl e , may s t i ck stubbornly to the neutral surface thus hiding the latent image , or at o ther t imes may lack suff i c i ent contrast to be sat i s­factory . I t rapidly loses i t s value when the latent image through age be­gins to lose i t s " tackine s s " to powde r . The S i lver Nitrate method , on the othe r hand , i s techni cally diff i cult to apply and would seem , moreove r , from i t s general character to be appl i cable to very few types of surfaces . The thi rd well -known method i s the i odine technique . Al though easy to apply to some surface s thi s me thod frequently yields images too trans ient to be cl ear­ly vis ible more than a second or s o . In add i t i o n , the brown images obta ined often lack suff i c i ent contrast for any pract i cal appl i cation .

Improvement in any given method can be mos t eas i ly brought about if the defects are recognized and removed , to whatever extent i s pos s ibl e . ' From a chemi cal v iewpo int , the i odine method would seem to be the one mos t eas ily suscept ible to thi s sort of improvement . One wovld th ink th i s be ­cause i odine i s a chemi cal which reacts vigorously with a. very large col­lection of other substances . Thus new reagents might c once ivably be found whi ch would improve the stabil ity of the image and at the same t ime greatly increase contrast . On exper iment ing in thi s general direction the promis ing new technique desc ribed in thi s paper was discovered .

The new method makes use , as a f irst step , of the convent i onal iodine me thod , sl ightly modified , as later de scribed . After the latent image has been fumed w i th i odine vapor , a sheet of s i lver i s pressed against the latent image . The s i lver sheet i s then removed and exposed to d i rect sun­l ight or photoflood l i ght , a strong black image of the latent shortly appear­i ng on the s ilve r .

Four s.teps are thus represented in the process .

' 1 . Fume latent image with vapor from I odine crystal s . 2 . Pre s s s i lver sheet into d i rect c ontac t with fvmed image . 3. Remove s i lver sheet . 4 . Expose s i lver sheet t o s trong l i ght .

I n attempting to develop a prac t i cal process , each step has been examined for a s impl e and trustwo.rthy procedure . The directions here g iven are merely c omments upon the method as prac t iced .

S ince most objects whi ch 'could bear latent f ingerpri nts are too bulky for enclosure in a container containing i odine vapor , a s imple - ins tru­ment was devised for fuming in s i tu . The instrument may be s imply a length 'of i- i nch glass tub ing , say four inches long , c onstricted at one end for a

30

rubber tubing connection . A straight calc i um chloride tube bought from any chemi cal supply house w i l l f i l l the requirement . Stuff a pad of glass wool as far as it will go into the large opening , pour i nto the tube a half - t ea­spoonful or more of i odine crystals and then push i n another pad of glass wool s o as to safely enclose the crystal s i n the tube . The breath can be bl own through the tube carrying i od ine fumes out the large opening , the io­dine be ing warmed with the hand i f greater e fflux of vapor i s des i red .

The fuming operation w i th thi s instrument i s extremely s impl e . The large opening i s swept over the surface , be ing examined , very much in the style of a pai nter spraying a surface w i th lacquer . Holding the instru­ment a d istance of about half an i nch from the surface will give good fume dens i ty and also good coverage . In actual tests , both s ides of a shee t of 8txll i nch paper were completely "prospected" for pr ints in less than one minute . When a latent pr int is d i scovered , the area where it res ides can rece ive a more l iberal fuming to yield the maximum of contrast . The amount of t ime required for fuming of a s i ngle latent i s somewhat variable , rangi ng from a s econd to a fraction of a minute . Prolonged fuming i s seldom ' advan­tageous except with very old latents . In fuming glass and metall i c obj e cts the use of thi s s impl e instrument may resul t in a mist condens ing on the surface from the moisture in the breath . To prevent thi s , s imply pour a teaspoonful or two of anhydrous cal cium chl or ide i nto the tube before intro­duc ing the iodine crystals . The calc ium chloride and the i odine shoul d be separated by glass wool . I n thi s way dried a i r i s forced through the i od i ne crystal s and consequently no condensat i on of moisture on the latent i mage can take place .

The s i lver surface upon which the transfer i s to be made mus t be prepared with care . Any thicknes s of shee t can be used , but thin sheet w i ll naturally fit better a surface whi ch is not exactly flat . The sheet should be very smooth and free from s crat ches but not mirror-polished . A sugges ted technique is to p i ckle mirror-pol i shed s i lver sheet in sulfur i c acid to pro­duce a s i lver gray matte surface .

No trouble i s usual ly experienced with s l ippage of the s i l ve r sheet on the surface be ing examined , but a glass surface may present a spe­c ial problem . I n thi s case it i s best t o attach a strip of adhes ive tape to the edge of the s i lver sheet so that the edge may be first attached to the glass . The sheet i s then pressed over the latent hinged from the ad­hes ive tape . Thi s ope rat ion should be done qui ckly after the cessat i o n of fuming .

Depending upon the amount of i od i ne whi ch has been taken up by the latent print , the correct time of contact of the s i lver with the surface may extend from one second to , perhaps ten . Usually a fa int brown image on the s ilver may be seen when the sheet is l if ted .

When the sun i s shining , the image on' the s ilver' i s very s imply developed by exposure to d i rect sunl ight for a half minute or s o . Mor e ex­tended e xposure t o strong l ight w i l l help to give dens i ty to weak image s . A photoflood bulb gives an i ntensi ty of the same order at close range s o the

1 ,

l ight source i s no problem . Ordinary electric bulbs are too weak t o be useful .

If the method has worked sat i sfactor ily , the re w i l l be at th i s stage a strong black print of the l atent image o n the s i lver s urface . I f , howeve r , the print i s too strong or too weak the process may be repeated , making such correct ions as seem ne ces sary . In · my own experience , f ive trans­fers have been made from a s ingl e latent image , the f ifth trarisfer. be ing just as good as the f i rst . Moreove r , the appl icat i on of th i s method does not re sul t in the destruc t i on of the latent ; so far as I can determine , the powde r ing qual i t ies are left intact . I f de s i red , the s i lver she ets may be f i led in envelopes away from di rect sunlight and will then. be ent ire ly per­manent . In tho s e case s in whi ch photographic copies of' these s i lver images are de s i red , the cop i e s may be made readily·, us ing regular process f i l m . T o remove the image from a s i lver sheet , s imply pol i sh careful ly w i th mo i s t wh it ing or , better s t i l l , opt i c ian ' s rouge . The sheet i s then ready for further use .

The new method has been appl ied to many types of surfaces with succes s . Some of these same surfaces would be very t i ckl i sh problems with ex ist ing methods . As an example , prac t i cally perfect images have been ob­tained from waxed and polished furn i ture and from greasy ename led ki tchen stove s . Both of these types of obj ec.t s commonly yield very bad resul t s wi t h powder . G o o d prints have under favorable cond i t i ons , . been obtained even from cotton and s i lk c l oth .

For some prac t i cal suggest ions in app lying the method ; the f o Ò ­lowing may b e c ons idered :

1 . S i zed pape r . The method works on as many types of . hardened paper as have been tried ; it does not work we l l on newsprint . From a good surface it yields images of much greater detail than could be expected from powder , even pore structure often be ing brought out .

A part icular app l i cat ion could be to the examinat i on of inter­cepted documents because the method ne i ther remove s the latent pr int nor leave s any trace of its use . The lat'Óer po int also might be important if the invest igator wi shed to leave unchanged the latent on the object itself for purposes of evidence .

2 . Glass . When i t i s inconven ient to remove the s i lver ing from backs of mirrors , thi s method advantageous ly may be appl ied . For special purposes the pr int could even be made practica l ly in the dark in a few sec­onds without l eaving evidence of the ope rator ' s pre sence .

3 . Obj ects bear ing a f i lm of grease . There i s usua l ly a great diffe rence in the rate of absorpt ion be tween a grease f i lm and the latent image . Th i s is eas i ly demonstrated by applying th i s method to wal l s , enam­e l ed surfaces o f stoves and other obj ects exposed to grease fumes of a kit­chen . In order to exagge rate thi s type of cond i t i on an area on a stove was coated with soft butter and then l ight ly rubbed with a c l oth l eaving , natural­

ly , a cons iderable f i lm of the grease . A latent image was then left on the surface and the iodine - s i lver transfer method appl ied . A perfect pr int re­sulted . I n this case actual t rials showed powder to be comple tely valueless .

In thi s same category bel ong pol i shed and waxed furniture . La­tent prints are commonly l ef t on such surfaces and are exceedingly hard to rec ord . The iOdine - s i lver transfer method finds some of its most sati sfac­tory appl i cations t o such surface s .

4 . Cloth . Thi s method will al low the recording of latent images left on fi ne textured sample s of c loth under certain favorable cond i t i ons . Under average condi t i ons , no l atent image at all will originally be l eft on sof t , abso rbent and loose-textured cloth and consequently there is no image to develop by any method . However , some types of cloth stretched over cha irs and sofas could eas ily carry latent images . The author has a number of sat­i sfactory prints in his possess ion taken from such s i lk and c otton surfacesÔ

5 . In cases where there is doubt of the appl icabi l i ty of other methods , the i Odine - s i lver method has the remarkable advantage that a num­ber of pri nts may be made wi thout destroying or marring the latent image . T o make thi s ent irely clear , we should understand something of the mechanism of thi s process . The fuming w i th i odine might be thought of as a s ort of dusti ng of the image with i odine vapor . The s i lver sheet , in turn , i s s ome­what l ike a l ifter , al though ent ire ly chemical in func t i o n . ' By this I mean' that the s i lver , through chemical reac t i on , " l ifts" the i odine from the latent image without removing any part of the latent i tself . Thi s i s the explanat i on of our success i n fuming and transferring over and over again from the same latent image . C l early then , one at least should always try i t f i rst i n difficult cases before resorting to ordinary l ifters and other dub i ous methods .

In conclus i on , I would l ike to emphasize that the discovery of thi s method i s too recent to have allowed full research on the problem .

SPEC I AL ANNOUNCEMENT

Beginning in thi s i ssue of the FBI Law Enforcement Bull e t i n , "FBI " criminal record numbers of wanted individuals will be publ ished with each notice whe rein the subj e c t i s one t o whom such a number has been as­s igned in the Bureau ' s re cords . These numbers are furni shed as a c onveni ent means of identifying the se i ndividual s in any c ommunicati ons with the Bu­reau . In cases in whi ch the re c ords on f i l e in the Bureau ' s Ident ifi cation Div i s i on have not requi red the ass igning of "FBI " numbers , because the s e are s i ngle prints , heretofore uni dentif ied , the notices w i l l cont inue to be publ i shed as formerly .

Hereafter the cancellat ions also wi l l inclUde the FBI regis try numbers of the individual s to whom reference i s made where such numbers have been ass i gned .

A QUESTIONABLE PATIERN

The finger impression reproduced below is of a borderline type, questionabl e as either a tented arch or a loop .

C A

Close inspection of this pattern shows ridge " A " to run into ridge "B" at an angle so that "B" continues on and arches over the core formation. If the part of "A" after convergence with "B" were heavier, in­dicating it to be a continuation of ridge " A " , tha pattern would be given a preference classification of a loop. However , since i t appears that the arching ridge is a continuation of "B" , and ridges " A " and " C " merely meet "B" at the arch formation , this impression is given a tented arch for pur­poses of f i l ing i n the Bureau ' s Ident ification Division .

The S ixth Sess ion of the FBI Nat ional Pol ice Academy w i l l c om­plete its course of training on October 2 , 1 937 . The delegates of the I nter­nat i onal Association for Ident i f i cat ion are i nvited t o attend the gradua t i on exerc i ses t o be held i n The Great Hall of the Department of Justice Build­i ng . These exercises have been included on the convention program .

The total number of spec ially-select.ed law enforcement off i cers who have completed thi s course of training or who are presently attending the A cademy S e s s i on which wi l l c onclude on the above-menti oned date i s 188 , representing the same number of law enforcement organizati ons i n 47 s tates and 1 territor i al posses s i on . They were s el ected after the head · of the de­partment represented by each s tudent , had wri tten a letter to the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigat i on request ing that his department be all owed to des ignate a representat ive to take thi s course of training . Based upon the order in which such letters or appl icat i ons were receive d , the Federal Bureau of Investigation extended an i nvitat i on to the department to des ignate the offic ial i n the organizati on who was bes t qual if ied t o rece ive the ins truc t i on and then return to his own department and give the benefit of his training and experience t o the other members by means of pol i c e t rain­ing s chools whi ch the graduate would operate under the supervi s i on of his immediate supe r i ors .

Thi s i s all that i s necessary f or any law enforcement organi za­t i on t o do to make appl i cat i on f or a representative to attend the FBI Na­t i onal Pol i c e Academy ; i . e . , write a letter to the Director of the} Federal Bureau of I nves t i gat i on advis ing of a des i re to so des ignate a representa­t ive for thi s purpose . There i s no cost for training or for the equipment used i n connec t i on with thi s course of training , and each of the s e s s i ons , which last for twelve weeks , has included approximately thi rty-f ive l o cal , county , or state law enforcement off icers .

A h igh percentage of the graduates have already rece ived promo­tions in the i r local departments and are conducting training scho o l s for the benefi t o f the other members of the i r 0rganizati ons .

Thre e sess i ons of the Academy w i l l be held during each calendar year , the s e s s i ons usually beginning in January , May , and September .

Following the graduation exerc i se s and at such hours as w i l l not confl i ct with the program of the I nternational Assoc iat ion for Identi f i cation convent ion , the re will be meetings of the graduates of the Academy , who have formed an organi zation known as the FBI Nat ional Pol ice Academy Assoc iates , and the busi ne s s sess ions of the Assoc iates will be held on Saturday after­noon , October 2 , and Sunday afternoon , October 3 , 1937 .

MARYLAND MURDERER APPREHENDED

Joseph Brooks , a Negro , was first arrested on March 19 , 1932 , for violation of the Nat ional Prohibi tion Act . His f inger impress ions were transmitted t.o · the FBI by the Uni ted States Marshal at Bal t imore j MarylFl-nd . For thi s violation he subsequently was f ined $250. 00. The Maryland House of Correction at Jessups , Maryland , submi tted the finger impress ions of this i nd ividual advis ing that he was · received at that ins t i tut i on on Augus t lq 1935 , from the Northwest Pol i ce Court of the C i ty of Bal t imore for the crime of .. assÕÖit ·apd c.utting . He had been sentenced to serve s ix months at ,that instituti on .

, . / , he;. Rext r ingerprint card concerning th i s i ndividuEJ,l , was \e­c e ived in the B×reau ' s Ident i f i cation Divi s i on on a wanted not ibe June 23 , ' 1 93 7 . The police off i c ials of the C i ty of Baltimore , Maryland , s tated that thØy desired .thÙ apprehens ion of thi s individual for murder . Immediately a not i ce was pos'ted in the Bureau I s files providing that upon the , re c e ipt of any informat ion concerning the whereabouts of thi s individual the Bal t imore , Maryland , P91 iÚe Department should be not ified .

On August 28 , 1937 , the Metropol itan Pol ice Department in Wash-' ington , D . C . , took into custody an individual named Joseph Brooks and de­c i ded to hold him for invest i gation . , The finger impress i ons, of t,hi s indi'­vidual were submitted to the Ident ificat ion Divi s ion of the Bureau and the Me iropol ttan Pol ice Department requested that they be adv i s ed telephoni9ally i f thi s individual was wanted . Immediately upon search of the finger 'lmpre's­s i ons of Joseph Brooks , it was ascerta ined that he was ident ical w i th the Joseph Brooks wanted by the Pol i ce Department at Bal timore , Maryland ,. for murder . Accordingly , a tel eppone" ,call was made to the Metropol itan Pol ice

' Department at Washington , D . C . , adv i s ing of the ident i ty ' 'of the Joseph Brooks be ing held . The Washington author i t i e s communi cated with the Pol ice Department in Bal t imore , Maryland , and on September 3 , 1937 , the re 'wa's "re­' c e ived from them the finge rpr int card for Joseph P .

FORTY YEARS OF C R I M I NAL ACTIV ITY IN THE UNITED

STATES AND C ANADA REFLECTED IN BUREAU ' S RECORD

OF MAN RECENTLY ARRESTED

"Forty Years a Criminal " might appropriately be the t itle of the biography of Harry Fishe r , arrested by the Sheriff ' s Off i c e at Seattl e , Washington , on Apr il 30 , 1937 , upon a charge of grand larceny .

The first notat ion i n the cr iminal record of thi s man appearing in the f i les of the Federal Bureau of Invest igation shows h i s arrest under the name of Abe Levy in April , 189 7 , at New York C ity , upon a charge of petty l arceny for which he rece ived a sentence of twenty-three months in the House o f Refuge . The names of Harry Cohen , Michael Harr i s , W i l l iam Harr i s , Harry Jacobs , Harry Greenburg , Henry Myers , John Morris , John Herman Schafer , John Harr i s , and Harry Goldberg , were used in connection w i th var i ous arrests reported prior to the time when the f ingerpr int ing of criminal s was a general prac t i c e of law enforcement agenc i e s in the United State s . In connection with thes e various arrests , thi s veteran criminal rece ived sentence s of one year , one year and six months , f ive years , three years , and three months , on such charges as petty larceny , grand larceny , burglary , d i sorderly con­duct , vagrancy , and pick ing pocket .

The first f ingerprint r ecord of thi s man was rece ived from the Pol i c e D epartment at Detro i t , Mi ch i gan , under the name of Harry S i lver , in June , 1 9 1 6 , showing an arrest for larceny from the person . S i lver ' s cata­l ogue o f names , however , had not yet been exhausted . To those already used he added Harry Gordon , Harry M i l le r , Frank Barnett , Harry F i shman , Harry Forbs , and others . With regulari ty he was taken into custody by law enforce­ment agenc ies throughout the Eastern , Middle Wes t , and Pac i f i c Coast sections of the Uni ted States , and s everal t imes in Canada . In 1924 he was rece ived at the S tate Penitent iary , San Quent in , Cal ifornia , to serve a maximum sen­tence o f f ive years for attempted larceny . In 1929 and in 1933 , s entence s o f s i x months each were meted out t o him by judicial agenc i e s i n Canada . At t imes he was l isted as a fug i t ive from jus t i c e and h i s apprehens ion was sought . In some cases h i s only puni shment was the payment of a f ine . Some charges were dismissed altogether .

At the t ime of Fisher ' s arrest at Seattle , the superintendent of the Bureau of Ident i f i cat ion of King County , Seattl e , Washington , and the Federal Bureau of Inve s tigat i on , were furni shed with cop i e s of h i s crim­inal r e cord in Ident ificat ion F i l e s of the Royal Canadian Mounted Pol ice at Ottawa , Canada . Thi s internat i onal exchange of ident ificat i on is one more reenforcement of the net which records a complete criminal h i s tory of an individual following a l ife of c r ime .

Compilat ions prepared by the Federal Bureau of Invest igati on based upon reports rece ived from the pol ice departments of 67 o f the coun­try ' s l arger c i t ie s show that the number of reported serious crimes de­creased dur ing 1934 - 1936 . However , there was an increas e dUr ing the f i rs t half o f 1 937 , a s compared with 1936 .
