Convict at Seattle The Kiwanis luncheon which falls | on Christmas will be held on Thurs- | day evening following instead. That | was arranged at the noon luncheon | today, when William H. Nimmins, of the identification department of the state prison, spoke to the club on finger printing. The finger print talk was made somewhat concrete by citing a strik- ing example at the prison here of the recapture of a fugitive of nine years of freedom. By means of the print photos kept by the prisons and the federal department at Washing- ton North Dakota convict 3207 was identified in an arrest at Seattle, recently, and turned over to the Da- kota authorities. Warden Brown brought him back a few nights ago, according to story of it told to the club by the prison expert. He spoke as substitute for Gunder Osjord, as- sistant warden at the penitentiary, who was too ill to fill his assign- ment. < _Mr. Nimmins also told of the iden- tification of Earl Clark by him while he still was an amateur in finger printing, isting the Minot police. Clark, California murder fugitive, had been about Minot some time but had gotten reckless and was arrested for some violation of law. Mr. Nim- mins took his prints and they were found to correspond with those of Clark on a circular posted in the po- lice station. Clark subsequently was hanged for the murder, in California. Finger printing goes back to the times of the Chinese emperors, said ;mins in answer to a question. ion of patterns still classi used. In 1900 tho United States adopted the system, said Mr, Nimmins. It now has 7,000,000 prints in its army files, 4,000,000 in the navy files and 1,300,000 in the criminal division. The federal bureau expanded 300 per cent last year. Each print has from 50 to 200 characters, he said. There are seven classes of these, as loops, whorls, arches, exceptions and accidents, as scars. No two persons have the same fingertip or thumb ridges, so far as the system has investigated, in millions of prints, said Mr. aL pair of twins in England had such ‘similar ridges that it was thought the exception to the rule had at last been found, but Scotland printed the hands of both and the similarity was not identical. tuwn; J.
