Involved in the suits brought by the fertilizer company was W. C. Glover and the Elizabeth City Milling Company, represented by Robert S.

The chemical corporation was 1 seeking payment from Glover and .the milling company of $140.53 for cotton the former bought and ! $91.04 for soybeans which the lat ter purchased from Riddick. Con tention of the plaintiff was that since they had purchased mortg aged property they should make payment to the mortgagee. In the Gracie Mae Stanley vs. Eddie L.

There are, he explained, several materials which can be used for the purpose of making casts of a hand, face or tooth print. As an instance of the importance of this work he told how a case was re cently broken in Charlotte because of tooth prints left in a partially eaten apple. Footprints, tire prints and similar markings have proven of value in breaking many cases, he said. Imprints on File The FBI he said has on file an imprint of every tire tread, shoe heel, etc., made in the United States. It knows who makes them all. A cast from a print o' one of these can be instantly indenti- fied by the Washington office and they will send a man without cost into any community to present this testimony. While making, the sample cast Mr. Easterling ex plained the steps necessary to giye a perfect job. Making a plaster of paris cast is a delicate operation, he said, and care should be taken not to bungle the job because there is no opportunity to do it over. He urged that casts be made thick and that they be reinforced with sticks, wire or similar material to prevent breakage. “When the imprint is shallow,” he explained, “a dam should be built around it so that the cast itself will be thick. Don’t pour the plaster of paris directly on the vital spot but pour it to the side and let it flow over the important print. Get your material right as that is important. I .suggest that' you .try the material on some un important print before putting it on the one you wish to preserve so that if you do not have it right you can make up another batch. You cannot add water to the ma terial after you have started stir ring it. So don’t get it too thick at the start. Handicaps Overcome “When there is water in the im print of which you wish to make a cast it is wise to syphon it out. If it is in sand and you fear add ing moisture to it will cause it to crumble, spray some shellac on the walls of the imprint. If it is in snow and there is danger that the heat given off by the mixing of the plaster o f paris will melt it, sprinkle some talcum powder around the walls of the imprint to insulate it. This will give you a good cast.” James R. Tanner of Edenton told how a cast of a shoe heel had helped trap a peeping tom in Rocky Mount and said that the use of casts were much more help, ful to officers in rural areas where prints were more easily made than in cities with paved streets.
