IMPRINT OF TEETH
DOWNFALL OF BURGLAR KANSAS CITY, March .18. A plug of tobacco, on which a bite had left a perfect imprint of teeth, was the principal clue, to 40 burglaries, which were not solved until the sheriff, arresting a score of suspects, invited them in to a gam© of cards in the prison and offered them a chew.
Len Hudson was the only acceptor, and his teeth corresponded with the tell-tale marks. He later confessed to the crimes.
