$1000 REWARD For the Capture of This Man

Convict 6138, escaped from the State Penitentiary; Name, Charles Condray;

Age, 37; Height, 5 ft. 8 in. Weight, 141 pounds; Hair, light brown; Eyes,

gray.

Easy enough to identify him from his photograph and this description, you

may say—but, Condray took the name of “Brown”, dyed his hair, darkened

his skin, grew a mustache, put on weight and walked with a stoop. Yet, he

was captured and identified so positively that he knew the game was up

and returned to the penitentiary without extradition.

How was it accomplished? Easy enough for the Finger Print Expert. They

are the specialists, the leaders, the _cream_ of detectives. Every day’s

paper tells their wonderful exploits in solving mysterious crimes and

convicting dangerous criminals.
