without thinking.
Gatlins said it was impossible for

fl,a State Bureau of Investiga

peats are in the state bureau, said
Gatling, and most of them had

requirements for the work, he said,
include aptitude and good education.
Aptitude takes in knowing when
not to use the badge and gun. Edu

sociology far an agent to under
stand the reason behind the crime.
From interviewing prisoners in the
Slate prison to find out about other
.rimes and also why they com
initied crimes. Gatling said the gen
eral reason is a split up between
mother and father, lack of religion
in the home and poverty.
That does not refer to a good
man .cone wrong, according to the
rid expression,” said Gatling. “My
version is a bad man found out. A
man who has character will always
respond to his better impulses. 1
Appealing to a ' van’s vanity rath

"atling. He also displayed pictures
1 fingerprints and the window
from which they were taken, stating
how important photography is in
proving a case.
