TIDBITS® EXAMINES

FINGERPRINTS

by Janet Spencer On November 2nd, 1904, the use of fingerprints began in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in Kansas, and the St. Louis Police Department. They were assisted by a Sergeant from Scotland Yard who had been on duty at the St. Louis World’s Fair Exposition guarding the British display.

Shortly afterwards, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) created America’s first national fingerprint repository, called the National Bureau of Criminal Identification. Come along with Tidbits as we examine fingerprints!

FINGERPRINT FACTS

• In some cultures criminals were identified by amputating an ear or finger, or by blinding an eye or cutting the tongue.

Egyptians extracted teeth of criminals for ID purposes, and in medieval Europe they were branded like cattle— a practice that continued in China until 1905. Today we identify criminals through fingerprints.

• There may be 300 ridges on the skin between fingertips and wrist. There are millions of sweat pores between the ridges, which exude a nearly invisible mixture that’s 99% water and 1% fatty acid. Everything you touch is covered with this residue. The water will evaporate, but the fat remains. Fingerprints are still intact and readable on ancient mummies.

• In ancient China, emperors used thumbprints to sign state papers. Artists used fingerprints on pictures instead of signatures. But the fact that every human being carries a signature on their fingertips wasn’t put to use in police work until William Herschel became interested in 1860. At that time, he was working for the British government in India. He handled the payment of pensions to retired people. But frequently one person would collect his money, and then later someone using the same name would show up to collect it again. Herschel couldn’t keep track of the many people he dealt with— so he started having everyone sign for their money with a thumbprint. The fraud stopped immediately, but it was decades before fingerprints came into play where crime solving was concerned.

• In 1892 a detective was called to a scene where two young children had been murdered. The mother accused an old man who lived nearby. He proclaimed his innocence. The policeman found a bloody handprint on the door. He called the old man to the scene, and had him place an inked handprint on a piece of paper. The prints didn’t match. Next he had the mother of the children do the same— and the prints matched. She had murdered her own kids because the man she loved wouldn’t marry her as long as she had children. This is the first recorded instance of fingerprints being used to solve a crime. (cont’d)

(The Profile of a Warrior) Kingdom Warriors Wanted: Join us as we connect the passion of our heart with the skillfulness of our hands in helping people find hope and purpose with their life. Let’s unwrap the fiber of a Kingdom Warrior. This profile was designed and lived out through the life of Jesus. There are 3 B’s that make up Kingdom Warrior. The first B is Broken; A state of being where only God can put air in your tires. This is the place when the wind is out of your sails and we must rely on something we don’t have. My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. Psalm: 51:17 The second B is Blessing; an open window for God to bring you hope and purpose. Jesus covered a multitude of blessings (Be Attitudes) recorded in Matthew 5. The third B is Benefit; A state of being where my life is being used to benefit others. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides. 1 Peter 4:11 Every Kingdom Warrior is broken, blessed, and used to benefit others. If you want to be a warrior, follow the path that was prepared for you.

• Scotland Yard began using fingerprint evidence in 1901. Since then, fingerprint evidence has solved innumerable crimes.

• For many decades, each police department kept its own collection of fingerprints on file. Any police department with a suspicious person in custody sent copies of fingerprints to each police department individually, and each police department searched through their files manually.

It was a time-consuming and inefficient process. Congress established the FBI’s Identification Division in 1924 to be the central repository for all fingerprint records. Now known as the Criminal Justice Information Services Division, the bureau employs around 3,000 people 1.

Susie Hahn of Little Rock, Arkansas was arrested and charged with several local burglaries. Her fingerprints had been left all over the crime scenes. She couldn’t figure out how the police had fingered her— after all, she had worn gloves during the crimes.

However, the gloves she chose to wear were golf gloves, which are fingerless.

• There are several methods of finding fingerprints. One of the most common methods is called iodine fuming. In the late 1800s it was found that iodine fumes, when they comeDaniel intoBoone contact11/2/1734 with body Roseanne Barr 11/3/1952 fats and oils, will react with them in a way Will Rogers 11/4/1879 that makes them visible.

• When an object thought to have fingerprints on it is held over iodine vapor, the vapor crystalizes where it comes into contact with fats and oils, defining the lines of the print. The print is then photographed, and specialized filters on the camera will make the print even more visible. Iodine fuming is good at lifting prints from rubber gloves.

• Another method used silver nitrate and ninhydrin as dusting powders.

● On Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 o’clock of the 11th day of the 11th month, the First World War comes to an end. The Great War claimed the lives of 9 million soldiers; 21 million more were wounded. Civilian casualties caused indirectly by the war numbered close to 10 million. ● On Nov. 10, 1969, “Sesame Street,” a TV show that would teach generations of young children the alphabet and counting, makes its broadcast debut. Over the years, critics have blamed the show and its use of brief segments for shrinking children’s attention spans. ● On Nov. 13, 1974, Karen Silkwood is killed in a car accident in Oklahoma on her way to a meet with a reporter. She reportedly carried documents proving that Kerr-McGee Corp. was negligent when it came to worker safety at its plutonium plant. The theory was that someone forced her off the road to prevent the meeting. ● On Nov. 14, 1986, Wall Street arbitrageur Ivan Boesky pleads guilty to insider trading and agrees to pay a $100 million fine.

“Boesky Day,” as the SEC would later call it, was crucial in exposing a nationwide scandal at the heart of the ‘80s Wall Street boom. ● On Nov. 16, 1999, construction begins on a giant bonfire at Texas A&M University, the continuation of a 90-year tradition. Two days later, the 59-foot-high pile of more than 7,000 logs collapsed, killing 12 students and injuring another 27. ”(c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

John Dillinger hired two crooked doctors to remove his fingerprints. However, he had an allergic reaction to the anesthetic they used and nearly died. After that, the doctors used a different method, using acid to burn away the skin. When he was killed shortly afterward, the prints were already growing back.

Reversing Memory Loss Here’s something many of us have been waiting on: the reversal of memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease. UCLA, working with the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, created a multifaceted approach to help participants with mild cognitive impairment, and for the first time, memory loss was reversed.

Granted, the study was small, just 10 people, but six patients were able to return to their job or found their job much easier to perform. Nine of the 10 participants experienced memory improvement starting within a few months, and some regained functions that they hadn’t had for many years.

The final participant, with late-stage Alzheimer’s showed no improvement.

Alzheimer’s historically has been treated with monopharmaceuticals, which is one drug. It either works or it doesn’t.

The program created for this study was different for each participant, but each involved 36 therapeutic points. Some of the overall parameters involved sleep changes, diet that eliminated gluten and processed food, fasting with timed meals, meditation for stress reduction, vitamins at specific times and exercise.

All were very tightly regulated and complex -- and difficult to follow. No participant managed to follow all of the protocols, but they apparently saw enough of a benefit that they kept working at it.

No, this program isn’t something to try to create on your own. All of it was individualized per participant based on tests and ongoing progress. But your doctor can get more information for you.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● Board games date back at least 5,000 years, when people were playing on a board that looks like an ancestor to backgammon. ● It was in 1958 that the first stereo phonograph record went on sale. ● The soft drink 7-UP was originally called Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda -- and it contained lithium, which is now prescribed to treat manic depression. That ingredient (which continued to be part of the formula until the 1940s) probably helped spur the drink’s success, since 7-UP was introduced just before the Great Depression. The new name was derived from the size of the soda bottle (7 ounces) and “bottoms up,” which is presumably what many people did during the difficult years of the Depression. ● A man in Orange County, California, stole a diamond worth $25,000 and, despite being arrested for the crime, was able to smuggle it into prison with him by swallowing it. He then managed to hide the gem in a shower drain in hopes of retrieving and swallowing it again before his release. All that effort was in vain, however; prison guards found the diamond and returned it to the jewelry shop. ● If you’re using an average brand-new pencil, you’ll be able to draw a line about 35 miles long before running out of lead (though you’ll have to stop for sharpening breaks, of course).

Winter Protection for Young Plants Q: Last winter was a doozy by any standard, and several of my border shrubs that had survived previous winters unprotected froze and died off. I replaced them, but I don’t want a repeat if we have another bad winter. What’s the best way to protect the new plants? -- Jane V., Worcester, Mass.

A: Many shrub varieties are hardy, and can put up with a lot of weather. Some do very well under a coat of snow or ice (which actually can help insulate the plant during the coldest part of winter). But snow-less cold snaps or sudden weather changes can test even the toughest of these plants.

Since these are new plants, you should take extra protective measures regardless of how mild or rough the winter is. Go ahead and place burlap covering (available at home and garden stores by the yard) over or around the shrubs, ideally before the first hard frost, but definitely ahead of any multi-day periods with temperatures below freezing.

Drape or wrap the burlap around the shrubs, not too tightly -- enough to keep it from flapping loosely in the wind, but not so tight that it constricts the plant.

Secure the wrap at the base of the plant with twine, again being careful not to damage the bark.

For larger outdoor plants with extended branches, carefully tie up the branches by loosely wrapping twine around the bottommost branches, then sliding the twine circle upward a few inches to gather in the plant. Repeat with another length of twine to secure the branches higher up, and repeat again higher up if necessary.

Then wrap burlap around the plant and secure.

If you’re worried about a plant being pushed over by wind or banks of snow, place wooden stakes around the plant and wrap burlap around the stakes and plant to secure them. During the winter, immediately clear snow banks from around the plant so the weight doesn’t push the plant over.

Protect the roots of new and old shrubs during the winter, by placing fresh mulch around their base as an insulator. First, rake back existing mulch to expose the base of the tree or shrub trunk to the air for a few days. Next, cover the exposed area with new mulch.

Straw, pine needles or wood chips, or a combination of these, work well as winter mulch, insulating without compacting, so that water can get to the roots. This cover needs to be removed in the spring.

HOME TIP: Mulch around tree and shrub bases should be kept just 2 or 3 inches deep, to insulate while allowing air and water to get to the roots.

Famous Canadians

BRIAN DALRYMPLE

• Brian E. Dalrymple was born in Toronto in 1947. He got his baccalaureate in 1970 from Ontario College of Art. In 1972 Dalrymple joined the Forensic Identification Services of the Ontario Provincial Police as a forensic analyst, beginning a 28-year career with the agency.

• In 1977 he began collaborating with a couple guys at the Xerox Research Centre named Duff and Menzel, experimenting with lasers.

It bothered them that every time they turned the lasers on, the laser beam would illuminate every single fingerprint in the area, fouling up their experiments. Finally someone suggested that maybe this discovery could be useful in crime detection.

• Fine-tuning their discovery, the team found that shining an argon ion laser on latent fingerprints would cause them to fluorescence, making them highly visible. The laser light bounces off the human fat and perspiration in the fingerprint which glow fluorescent yellow. The laser beam was a non-destructive method that also allowed the more traditional methods of fingerprint identification to proceed normally.

• Additionally, they found that the goggles that all laser operators are required to wear while working with a laser beam effectively blocked certain wavelengths of light, which made the fingerprint stand out even more.

Further research by Dalrymple showed that if a fingerprint were stained with particular chemicals, it would cause an even greater degree of fluorescence when the laser light was beamed upon it. Together, these developments proved to be so effective that fingerprints that were otherwise invisible using standard methods could now easily be revealed using these techniques.

• The very first fingerprint identified and utilized in a criminal case using this technology was located on the sticky side of a piece of black electrical tape in a drug case.

This was the beginning of a revolution in the forensic identification field.

• Today, portable lasers are sometimes taken to crime scenes to help with fingerprint evidence. This technology is now in global use and has provided crucial evidence in hundreds of major investigations.

• As a result of his efforts, the Ontario Provincial Police became the first police agency in the world to be operational in this technology.

After another decade of research, Dalrymple perfected the art of applying computer enhancement technology to sharpen images, once again placing the Ontario Provincial Police as Canadian leaders in forensic science.

• In 1991, as Associate Section Head, he introduced the first Computer Evidence System to Canada, and became the first Canadian to offer expert advice in this technology. He was promoted to Manager of Forensic Identification Services in 1992.

• He perfected methods on examining murder victims for fingerprints left on their skin.

• Brian Dalrymple retired from the Ontario Provincial Police in 1999 and now runs a private firm dedicated to consultation and training in identification services. He specializes not only in fingerprints, but also in shoe prints, foot prints, and forensic photography, helping solve homicides, drug crimes, fraud, and deter organized crime.

Bon voyage, Sagit-tarius.

That’s right. You’re invited on the trip of a lifetime.

Go. You’ll have fun. And, don’t worry about the cost.

A windfall will make it all possible.

1. No, identical twins do not have identical fingerprints. The FBI has never been able to find identical fingerprints.

• Brian Dalrymple is the author of numerous publications and the recipient of several prestigious awards. Without his work, many a criminal would still be roaming the streets.
