SOMEWHAT OF JOLT FOR
BLOODHOUND EVIDENCE
The value of bloodhound evidence
has received something of Jolt in the
recent attempts to track the criminals
who dynamited the court house and
to uncover the two murderers of Mr.
Cohn, who fell before an assassin's
bullet last Saturday night. In both
cases the hounds failed completely.
In the trail of the murderers, they
went seemingly to the two men who
sat In a shed at LaPlatte that, In a
lawless community, the men might
have been roughly dealt with before
the establishment of their perfect
alibi.
There have been Instances where
men have been run down by blood
hounds as the perpetrators of crimes,
and who have either been lynched or
sent to prison as being the authors
of these crimes, when the evidence
has been no more conclusive than It
has been in the recent use of the
bloodhounds here.
In a track across fields or through
woods, hounds, once having scented a
trail, may be relied on safely to fol
low It. But In a city where many peo
ple cross the footsteps of ot her peo
ple, the reliabllitay of the blood
hounds may be seriously questioned.
