Page Six. THE SALEMITE Friday, May 2, 194K S 13 € IP T J LIE DETECTOR “There is no such instrument as the lie detector” was the paradoxi cal opening of Mr. James W. Po well’s discussion of the lie detector in expanded chapel Wednesday. Mr. Powell, who is of the North Caro^ lina Department of Justice, added, however, that the so-called “lie de tector” is merely an instrument used as an aid in psychological technigue. In explaining this amazing in strument, Mr. Powell first listed the different types of lies as (1) those of the insane, (2) those told for the pure joy of lying, without ulterior motive or serious conse quence, (3) the “little white lies” of everyday life, and (4) the de liberate lie told with a purpose. Then he stated that the only way to be absolutely sure that a person is lying is to know facts which prove thelie. Ther eare, however, definite physical and emotional re actions which indicate lying. In explaining the procedure, Mr. Powell emphasized the.fact that the experiment should be carried out in a room where there will be no disturbances. The questions should be short and carefully worded and should be both general and specific. The instrument is 100 per cent, ac curate in what it is supposed to do; the accuracy of the chart reading depends upon the interpreter. Its value lies in that it eliminates in nocent suspects, aids in obtaining clues, and frequently prompts a confession of the guilty party. Mr. Powell concluded his talk with a demonstration of the lie detector, using Ann Ewing as his innocent victim. REZNICK’S 440 N.
