He was reminded by Bertillon's own words, of what he already knew, that the skin of the face the entire skin of three layers, that is, not merely the outside covering may be compared to a curtain, and the underlying muscles to the cords by which it is drawn aside. The constant drawing of these cords, you know, produces in time the facial wrinkles, always perpendicular to the muscles causing them.
Beddersley!" he said, relieved. It was evident he knew him. "If you've tracked me strictly in accordance with Bertillon's methods, I don't mind so much. I will not yield to fools; I yield to science. I didn't think this diamond king had sense enough to apply to you. He's the most gullible old ass I ever met in my life. But if it's you who have tracked me down, I can only submit to it."
He consistently opposed the new-fangled methods, such as the Portrait Parle, and pin-maps for recording crime, and the graphic-system boards for marking the movements of criminals. All anthropometric nonsense such as Bertillon's he openly sneered at, just as he scoffed at card indexes and finger prints and other academic innovations which were debilitating the force.
"Charles Rambert," he remarked, "I think we are going to do a very good morning's work. Dr. Bertillon's new apparatus is an uncommonly useful invention." The detective might have gone on with his congratulatory monologue had not an attendant come into the room at that moment. "Ah, there you are, M. Juve: I have been looking for you everywhere.
But Bertillon's new portrait parle is the thing for apprehension." "What is it?" I asked. "Well, take the case before us. We have had no chance to finger- print that woman and what good would it do if we had? No one could recognize her that way until she was arrested or some means had been taken to get the prints again.
Which shows that it is six or eight times more perilous for a youth to be incontinent than continent up to that age. Dr. Bertillon's conclusions are that men should marry between their twenty-fifth and thirtieth years, and that women should marry when they have passed twenty. With the single exception of young men and women below the ages noted, Dr.
"Why, it's a word-picture a 'spoken picture, to be literal. I took some lessons in it at Bertillon's school when I was in Paris. It's a method of scientific apprehension of criminals, a sort of necessary addition and completion to the methods of scientific identification of them after they are arrested.
Harris must have had charge of her features. The attendants in Margot's had charge of her complexion and hair those were the things in which they specialized. "Don't you see it all now? She could retire a few days into the dope joint next door and she would emerge literally a new woman ready to face us, even with Bertillon's portrait parle against her."
"No need of Bertillon's palette of human hair to identify that," he exclaimed." There isn't time to study it and if there were it would be unnecessary. She was with him, all right." "Yes," agreed Lockwood. "But where is she now where is he? Could they have been hurt, picked up by some one and carried where they could get aid?" Burke shook his head. "I inquired at the nearest house ahead.
Bertillon's statistics tell a very different story. And where it relates to celibates, it is a shocking one. "Dr. Bertillon shows that in France, Belgium and Holland married men live considerably longer than single ones," writes Dr. Charles R. Drysdale, in summing up the matter in "The Population Question" "and are much less subject to becoming insane, criminal or vicious."
