Later, a second witness from the criminal registration branch said that the finger-prints in the case had been taken to him, and that, seeing that some of them were in sequence, he had searched through the records, containing the prints of over 40,000 persons, and within one hour had discovered that the prints resembled those of one of the accused men.
