FINGER-PRINTS BY RADIO
SUCCESSFUL RESULTS IN AMERICA (United Service.) London, May 7. Scotland Yard, after the detention of a suspect, believed to be wanted in Chicago, wirelessed the formula of his finger-prints to America, pending the Chicago criminal’s finger-prints being wirelessed back, which will establish or disprove his identity. The previous employment of the system resulted in the identification of a New York counterfeiter absconding from bail. The receiving bureau can reconstruct in five minutes a fingerprint from coded letters and \figures indicating individual markings of the digits.
