His honor said he wanted the jury to realize that there was nothing whatsoever to support the 'charge of tbe defense that they had fabricated evidence. He felt it was his duty to express his opinion that there was no evidence to suggest deliberate fabrication. That did not mean that they had not made mistakes but that was a different question entirely." The board found that the "technique employed by Captain Bar ker constituted a departure frti 1 tho best approved orthodex meth-1 ods of the development, photography and marking for Identification of latent fingerprints and the object on which they were detected." 1 Further the board does not approve of such technique, and "feels that if the proper, usual, orthodox 4. luuuweu, inr nuna vi me cnarKra could have been averted."
