CHICAGO, July 1.—Two human hands and & woman's ear met my gaze as I was ushered into the weird moulage fourth of rators at |room of the Scientific Crime Detection | Laboratory of Northwestern University. The hands caught my eye before I hed a chance to see anything else. They were severed at the wrist and lay in ghoulish disorder on a bench near the window, as if some fiend*® had cnopped them off with a butcher knife and then dropped them carelessly. The ear, strangely pinkish in hue. not a bit shrunken and apparently just detached from a head, although no trace of blood was visible, lay on an enameled platter. Inspector Ferdinand Watzek, to whom., it dawned upon me, I had just been introduced, must have noted my in- stinctive recoll, for he smiled and said “They are just wax. those things you see there. Did not Col. Goddard tell you?" 3 “Yes.” I replied. “He sketched your work to me, but those hands are so realistic I thought for the moment they were real ones which you were abbut to copy _But he did not tell me more than enough to stimulate my. curiosity.” Explains Use of Moulage. “Then T must explain about moulage.” | | the inspector sald, wiping his hands on a paint-smeared white apron snd seat- ing himself on a high stool before the | bench. I noticed for the first time a small box of colors in tubes eid several camel's-hair brushes The Viennes criminologist has strikingly youthful conzitenance, but graying hairs betray that he is well be. yond midd): age.

His English was laborious, but well ing wax casts in crime detection and its affiliated branches. In Vienna we have the first moulage laboratory, established by the Bundes Polizei Direktion. The technioue also has spread to Berlin, Nuremberg and Warsaw. This labora- tory, which the university so kindly asked me to organize, is the first in America.” The inspector paused glasses. “But how is moulage used in crimi- nology?” 1 asked. “In many, many ways." Watzek re- plied. “Suppose a footprint is found at the scene of a crime. It is not the foot- print of the murdered person. The usual method of preserving the print is by photographing it. But a photograph is unsatisfactory in most cases. One cannot fit a suspect’s shoe onto a pho- tograph. “But if & cast of the print has been to wipe his “Ix not that of value?

The features were amazingly realistic. the coloring perfect. There | were the fingers of men and women and other s-ctions of the human anatomy, grimly lifelike. “In Vienna we have been especially suceessful,” he continued, “in adapting moulag: o identification of unknown corpses. .Dead men canrnot speak. If there is nothing on their bodies to re- | veal identity, police have been in the | habit of taking fingerprints and pho- ';)graphs for possible future identifica- tion. | “Fingerprints prove valuable only ! when the dead man is a criminal. or a mililary man or some one who has had his fingerprints recorded for some reason lor another.

Scars Are Reproduced. “Here is where moulage becomes in- valuable. Instead of the horrible pho- tograph, we make a cast of the face and of each distinctite scar or deformity or other identifying mark. From this neg- ative we make a positive wax model of the face, almost as lifelike as that of the subject when alive. The scars and other features also are reproduced. “Any number of vears later a friend or relative of the dead person, hearing of the circumstances of his death and suspecting his identity, can satisfy him- self by going to the moulage laboratory and viewing the wax records there pre- erved.” ‘The inspector told of the successful use of moulage in the preparation of court exhibits “Should a body be found with in- juries inflicted by some instrument of ~# WRECKING Find a suspect with an| attack,” he pointed out. “a record of | the location and extent of all such | wounds can be made to supplement the testimonv of the medical examiner. A jury easily can understand such an ex- hibit, ‘whereas it might be confused by the technical language of the physician. A record like that also bears witness, mutelly, to the degree of brutality possi- bly involved in the crime.” It was disclosed that casts are being made successfully of footprints, tire marks and_ other impressions in very dry dust. The technique is remarkably delicate, but quite effective. The im- pression is dusted carefully w'th a fine layer of plastsr of paris, taking pains not to disturb the configuration of the orint. Then the plaster is sprayed lightly with an atomizer containing al- cohol. The alcohol, drying quickly, shell. With this as a foundation, the cast 1s readily made. - Solved Murder Case. Cpl. Coddard told of a murder case tour of crime laboratories in Europe. In this case moulage led to the solution of a baffling “hatchet murder” mystery. A east was made of the cleft skull of the victim. Under the microscope the cast showed numerous striations. The hatchet of a suspect was examined micrcscopically and the same incrimi- nating scratches were apparent. The casts a)%0 are of value in record- ing tool marks left on a safe by a burglar, as well s scars made by th~ | fimmy he used In gaining ent-ance to the establishment. T remarked to Inspector Watzek that moulage requires that a criminologist also n artist. “It is not so difficult to master,” he said, “but it requ¥ 3 patient study considerable diligeuce.
