The accidental S-shaped mark in the 'Thumbograph' print is accounted for by the condition of the paper; the occurrence of this mark in the red thumb-print is not accounted for by any peculiarity of the paper, and can be accounted for in no way, excepting by assuming the one to be a copy of the other.
McClaughry sees for the system not only a great aid in preventing the forgeries of commercial brigands but the easiest of all means for a person in a strange city to identify himself as the lawful possessor of check, or note, or bank draft which he may wish to turn into cash at a banker's window. Thumb-print signatures will eventually be used in all banks as a means of identification.
"We may now proceed, Mr. Anstey." "You have told us," resumed Anstey, "and have submitted proofs, that it is possible to forge a thumb-print so that detection is impossible. You have also stated that the thumb-print on the paper found in Mr. Hornby's safe is a forgery. Do you mean that it may be a forgery, or that it actually is one?" "I mean that it actually is a forgery."
"You are quite sure that the thumb-print was made with liquid blood?" "Quite sure." "Is there anything unusual about the thumb-print?" "Yes. It is extraordinarily clear and distinct. I have made a great number of trials and have endeavoured to obtain the clearest prints possible with fresh blood; but none of my prints are nearly as distinct as this one."
The forged print is not an absolute facsimile of the true print. There is a slight discrepancy. But, in addition to this, the paper bears intrinsic evidence that the thumb-print on it is a forgery." "We will consider that evidence presently, Dr. Thorndyke.
I also watched, and was a good deal exercised in my mind by my colleague's proceedings. After a preliminary glance with the six-inch glass, he swung round the nose-piece to the half-inch objective and slipped in a more powerful eye-piece, and with this power he examined the blood-stains carefully, and then moved the thumb-print into the field of vision.
He searched his pocket-book and brought out a photograph of a thumb-print considerably enlarged. "Compare them!" cried Whiteside in triumph. "Line for line, ridge for ridge, and furrow for furrow, it is Milburgh's thumb-print and Milburgh is my man!" He took up his coat and slipped it on. "Where are you going?"
"In the jail," Yasmini said slowly, "you could not spy on my doings, nor report my sayings." "Heavenborn, I am dumb! Only take back the money and I am dumb forever, never seeing or having seen or heard either you or this sahib here! Take back the money!" But Yasmini was not so easily balked of her intention. "Put his thumb-print on it, Tom Tripe, and see that he writes his name."
"Thank you," replied Jim gravely, " of my heart said that I was doing only half a man's part and that that was what was losing me my job. So I have been trying to enlarge my Thumb-print. I want to leave it not only in concrete but in the idea that the Project shall embody the rebirth of the old New England ideal of equality not in freedom alone, but in responsibility.
It is a forgery." "But is it possible to forge a thumb-print or a finger-print?" "It is not only possible, but quite easy to do." "As easy as to forge a signature, for instance?" "Much more so, and infinitely more secure.
