It was late in the afternoon, while Garrick was still busy with a high-powered microscope, making innumerable micro-photographs, when the door of the office opened softly and a young lady entered. As she advanced timidly to us, we could see that she was tall and gave promise of developing with years into a stately woman a pronounced brunette, with sparkling black eyes.
She was almost ready to beg his pardon, for all the coolness there had been between them, yet still hesitated. "Thank you," she said simply as she left the laboratory. Craig went to work abruptly without a word. On the laboratory table he placed his splendid microscope and several cases of slides as well as innumerable micro-photographs. He had been working for some time when he looked up.
"He takes photographs, for instance," I suggested. "Yes. But not ordinary amateur photographs; his work is more technical and quite excellent of its kind. For example, he did a most beautiful series of micro-photographs of sections of metalliferous rocks which he reproduced for publication by the collotype process, and even printed off the plates himself." "I see.
And yet minute as these crystals are, this discovery is of immense medico-legal importance. Crime may now be traced by blood-crystals." He displayed on his table a number of enlarged micro-photographs. Some were labelled, "Characteristic crystals of white man's blood"; others "Crystallisation of negro blood"; still others, "Blood-crystals of the cat."
Leslie and I both looked through the microscope, comparing the starch grains which Kennedy had discovered with those of scores of micro-photographs which lay scattered over the table. "There are several treatments for aconite poisoning," ruminated Kennedy. "I would say that one of the latest and best is digitalin given hypodermically."
