ABSOLUTELY INFALLIBLE.
FINGER-PRINT EVIDENCE,
SCOTLAND YARD’S CLAIMS
(Australian Press Association.)
LONDON, April 17
A London coroner, referring to finger-print evidence, asked a Scotland Yard expert whether it was a fact that there was not one instance in 1,000,000 of a similarity in finger-prints. The expert replied: “Not even that number. It outstrips the world's population by thousands of millions. Scotland Yard accepts it as a fact that there are no two persons in the whole world whose finger-prints agree in any particular whatsoever.”
