New York.—It is not umconstitutional to finger print a person convicted of a }crime. according to a decision by Judge Wadhams in general sessions, upholding the finger printing statute. The decision was given in the case of Anna Sallow, convicted recently of dis- orderly conduct. After reviewing the history of the case and the previous decisions on the question the court says: “Finger prints are but the tracings of physical characteristics or the lines upon the fingers. Nothing further is required in finger printing than bas been sustained heretofore by the courts in making proofs of identitication.” CARP WAR 0% !APANESE. Truck Farmer Harvests Crop to Save Iti.
