We had Reynolds up, and he made a most careful examination of that bow for finger-prints. He did not find any. But fortune favored us in another way almost as good." "Now you interest me." "We had brought the bow into the Curator's office, and it lay on the long table in the middle of the room.
All I dare read there is this: A quick run up and a quick run down by a man in rubbers, and then a second run down by the same man in shoes. That's the whole story. These other scraps of paper," he went on as he saw the Inspector's eye travel to some small bits lying on the side, "are what I have to show as the result of my search on and about the western pedestal for finger-prints.
Now, what's it all about, anyway?" "Well," I said, "in the first place, neither Godfrey nor I believes that Swain strangled that man." "I can't hardly believe it myself," agreed Simmonds, "for he seems a nice young feller; but it's a clear case: there's the motive, he was on the ground, and there's the finger-prints. How can you explain them away?" "I can't explain them away.
A duplicate carnet is on file at the French police bureau in Tientsin, and no Chinese can find employment in the concession, as cook, groom, clerk, chauffeur, or in any other capacity, unless he is first registered with the police. The idea of having one's finger-prints recorded, like a common criminal, seems somehow humiliating.
And when I say the real murderer," I added, "I do not necessarily mean one of the persons whom we know to have been in the house.

Yassuh brought her a delicious Crumb; it was wrapped in a sticky paper covered with his finger-prints, but inside the paper was one of Avrillia's exquisite napkins of embroidered mist. The First Gunkus, remembering how she had loved the mountain, brought her a little live Laugh. He had climbed the mountain and trapped it for her, and made her a little cage to take it home with.
"Did you let him?" Tom asked. "I certainly did not! With all our stuff down there? When he saw I intended to stay down as long as he did, he went right up. Do you think he wanted to steal some of our membership buttons?" Tom shrugged his shoulders thoughtfully. He was glad the next day was Saturday. Tom found Mr. Conne poring over a scrapbook filled with cards containing finger-prints.
He scanned the missive quickly. It was an ordinary commonplace note from a jeweller in Paris, addressed to Ivan Abramovitch. This he placed aside. "May as well have his finger-prints," he said, and one of the officers present pressed Ivan's hands on a piece of inky tin, and then on a piece of paper. The superintendent glanced casually at the impression. "All right," he said.
It is evident that the writers were labouring under serious excitement when they wrote this." Rolfe was so interested in Crewe's revelations that he stood beside the deductive expert and studied the paper afresh. "And now, about finger-prints?" asked Crews. "None," was the reply of the inspector, "We had it under the microscope at Scotland Yard." "None?" exclaimed Crewe, in surprise.
Upon the newel-post lay the fresh imprint of a hand. Haggerty went up the stairs in bounds. There were nine rooms on this floor, two connecting with baths. In one of these latter rooms he saw a trunk, opened, its contents carelessly scattered about the floor. One by one he examined the garments, his heart beating quickly. Not a particle of dust on them; plenty of finger-prints on the trunk.
