Temperature Variations with Respect to the Specific Gravity of Glass Fragments. Comments on Donald F. McCall's Paper
Paul L. Kirk, A. Melville Dollar, Temperature Variations with Respect to the Specific Gravity of Glass Fragments. Comments on Donald F. McCall's Paper, Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology (1931-1951), Vol. 39, No. 5 (Jan. - Feb., 1949), pp. 684-689
Casting of Hairs. Its Technique and Application to Species and Personal Identification
P. L. Kirk, Professor of Biochemistry, University of California Medical School, has engaged in extensive research in the techniques of hair identification and differentiation. Several of his papers on these studies have appeared in this Journal. In this present article Professor Kirk and associates describe a simple method for casting hairs which may well lead to further criteria in differentiating between hair specimens. Stanley Magagnose is a g…
Microscopic Evidence. Its Use in the Investigation of Crime
is a nationally recognized expert on microscopic evidence and its applications to the solution of crime.Over a period of years Professor Kirk, who is one of our Associate Editors, has contributed papers on various problems of microanalysis to this Journal and has appeared as an expert witness on these problems in numerous courts.His current paper, which should be of particular interest to progressively minded investigators and police microanalyst…

Glass Fragments as Evidence. A Comparative Study of Physical Properties

Further Investigation of the Scale Count of Human Hair
Tool Marks. Factors Involved in Their Comparison and Use as Evidence
Comparison of tool marks as an aid in the solution of crime is a well known and widely used procedure which is generally considered as yielding valid court evidence. It is true, nevertheless, that much misapprehension exists as to the individuality of such marks and the probability of repetition of a mark by more than one tool. Such misappre-hension as existshas undoubtedly arisen in part from a lack of careful study of the factors which influenc…
Human Hair Studies. III. Refractive Index of Crown Hair
Microdetermination of Specific Gravity in Forensic Chemistry
the glass found, for example, in the clothing of the suspect, originated from glass broken during the commission of the crime is obviously a matter of importance in criminal investigation. Analogous situations will arise with respect to minute fragments of many materials other than glass and, for all of these, the absolute determination or the comparison of specific gravities is an excellent aid in establishing identity or nonidentity of the evid…
Clothing Fibers as Evidence. A Study of the Frequency of Occurrence of Blue Wool Fibers
It is common knowledge that loose fibers of all varieties adhere easily to clothing, and that when two sets of clothing come in contact, some fibers from each will be transferred to the other. This transfer will be greatest for the shorter and less conspicuous fibers, and its amount will depend largely on the adherent qualities of the cloth involved. In most crimes of violence, the clothing of the perpetrator contacts, sometimes forcibly, that of…
Human Hair Studies. II. Scale Counts
points as well as could be accomplished with a larger amount, and in addition the value of scale counts in individualization is definitely shown. Hausman (1) concluded that the scale diameter of human head hair was correlated only with the hair shaft diameter. The experimental basis for this conclusion was not given in sufficient detail for any direct comparison with the data given here. Wyncoop (2) found no correlation of scale diameter with age…
