I've seen Lady Loudwater use it to cut flowers, and Lord Loudwater to cut the end off a cigar cursing, of course, because he couldn't lay his hands on a cigar-cutter, and the knife was blunt and I've cut all kinds of things with it myself." "Yes; but the finger-prints of the murderer, if it does record them, will be on the top of all those others.
His dexterity amazed me; it was more than mere book knowledge. For a moment we sat regarding each other hopelessly. None of the finger-prints taken at the hall tallied with the photographed prints. Then Craig rang for the housekeeper, a faithful old soul whom even the typhoid scare could not budge from her post. "Are you sure I have seen all the servants who were at the hall while Mr.
But when we produced the London finger-prints which tallied with the New York fingerprints which we had made believe it or not, but it is a fact, the Riverwood finger-prints did not tally at all." He laid the prints on the table. Kennedy examined them closely. His face clouded. It was quite evident that he was stumped, and he said so.
"How was she dressed?" "In a white robe of some silk-like material." "A robe that would show a blood-stain?" "Undoubtedly." Goldberger paused for an instant, and then produced a pad, such as one uses for inking rubber stamps, opened it and placed it on the table before him. "Have you any objection to giving me a set of your finger-prints?" he asked.
I took also a few articles which I selected from Marlowe's bedroom, as bearing the most distinct of the innumerable finger-prints which are always to be found upon toilet-articles in daily use.

There the things stood, their polished surfaces sullied by the greasy finger-marks of the wretch who had murdered my wife. At those tell-tale marks I looked with new and growing interest. Finger-prints, in those days, had not yet been recognized by the public or the police as effective means of identification.
"I am from Scotland Yard, and I want the finger-prints of the men who have just ordered coffee. Polish the outsides of the liqueur glasses thoroughly, and only lift them by the stems. Then when the men have gone let me have the glasses."
"The finger-prints on the dagger, although we should have adopted a different method had we known what we know now, helped us to narrow the investigation, for they apparently and actually by luck settled the innocence of several people who might have been suspected. "Lady Eileen Meredith came to me with a story that seemed to implicate Sir Ralph Fairfield.
He could not see where any more evidence against Hutchings was to come from. What Mr. Manley had told him about the knife, that it had been in general use, and that he had seen Hutchings cut string with it the day before the murder, greatly lessened its value as evidence, even if Hutchings' finger-prints were thick on it.
