= G-MEN READ NEW CRIME MAGAZINE First Edition of “F. B. L Bulletin” Gives Data on Clue Detection. BY REX COLLIER. Crime clues that hide in dust and stains, detection of gun powder resi- dues on hands of suspected suicides, Jatest developments in the science of fingerprinting and other important news behind the scenes in the war on crime are featured in a new “crime detection” magazine just published by the Justice Department’s “G-men.” ‘This monthly publication, to be known as the “F. B. I. Law Enforce- ment Bulletin,” is not for sale on the magazine counters. It is a highly technical journal distributed free to the Nation’s official law enforcement sgencies—State, county and munici- 5 Rogues’ gallery photographs of a notorious kidnaper illuminate the front cover, while photographs, finger- prints of fugitives, crime trend charts and statistical tables help to fill the 64 pages within. Supplants Former Bulletin. In a foreword, J. Edgar Hoover, director of the F. B. I. explains that the new publication supplants the former “Fugitives Wanted by Police” bulletin issued by the bureau. “Believing that the F. B. I. can be of further aid to the law enforcement officer,” Hoover stated, “the scope of the fugitives bulletin is being broad- ened to provide not only a means of making nationally known the fugi- tives wanted by law enforcement agencies, but a national periodical of interest and value in the field of law enforcement. It is intended that this publication should provide a clearing house for the dissemination of impor- tant police information and a com- prehensive literature pertaining to the scientific methods in crime detection and criminal apprehension.” The man on the cover is Joseph Hanley, wanted by the G-men in con- nection with the kidnaping of Ernest K. Newman at Sioux City, Iowa, on February 4, 1935, and of Herman G. Bredensteiner and Dean S. James at Nishnabotna, Mo., on June 3, 1935. Kidnaping warrants have been issued in both cases. Clue Gathering Discussed. An article on “Collection of Speci- mens” explains how to look for latent clues at the scene of a crime and how to collect and transmit the evidence to the scientific laboratory for exami- nation and preservation. “When searching for stains on clothing,” it is pointed out. “the lin- ings of the pockets should be ex- smined. Similarly, fingernails, the crevices of boots and the joints of Wweapons often yield stains even though the main portion of the object has been thoroughly cleaned. Cleaning many times results in washing the stains into crevices. “Even though stains have been thoroughly washed from the clothes or other similar objects, or though the materials have been burned, they should be preserved and further ex- amined, because possible to get Ppositive resu m tests notwith- standing th conditio: Identifications Revealed. Dr. Israel Castellanos, director of the Cuban Bureau of Identification, writing on “Dactyloscopic Identifica- tion of Cadavers,” tells how finger- prints may be taken by intricate processes from bodies of persons long dead. Even bodies burned beyond recognition may be identified by one process A chart shows that robbery has a scasonal trend that reaches a peak during October and police are urged to take special precautions this montn against this type of crime. The final article is an appeal for co-operation of police of the country in the apprehension of the murderer of two Bridgeport, Conn., policemen who surprised a burglar in the act of robbing a store on September 30 last A single latent fingerprint found on & radio dropped by the murderer is reproduced, together with a letter de- scribing the crime, signed by Charles A. Wheeler, chief of police of Bridge- port. FIRE RUINS' APARTMENT Gas Stove Explodes — Flames Break Through Roof.
