NO TWO ALIKE.
Impossibility Of Fingerprint Similarity. EXPERT'S THEORY. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received 12 noon.) LONDON, April 18. A London coroner, referring to fingerprint . evidence, asked a Scotland Yard expert whether it was a fact that not one in 1,000,000 finger-prints were similar. The expert replied that it was more than that. The number, he said, outstrips the world's population, being one in thousands of millions.
Scotland Yard accepts as a fact that there are no two persons in the whole world whose finger-prints agree in any particular whatsoever.
