Every time I walked into a room, I tried to make an exact mental picture of it. But analysis is as Important as observation, the veteran officer says, "because it s easy to jump at conclusions often wrong con clusions." No one person can master the science of criminal detection, .says MacDonald, after nearly a half century of study. The field is too wide. The master would have to know medicine, surgery, chemis try, law, in addition to being a technical expert in identification and detection. Yet criminal detection is emer ging as a profession, MacDonald points out, and while pay is not in keeping with training and abil ity, it is improving. MacDonald gets nothing, inci dentally, from his appearances as an expert witness in court cases. Multnomah County rents his serv ices out at $50 a day. He gets his expenses. His handwriting testimony was the clincher in the conviction of petite, red-haired Gladys Broad hurst, who plotted her wealthy sixth husband's murder, carried out by her cowboy lover in the wilds of Oregon's Jordan Valley a few years ago, Handwriting, like fingerprinting, is an exact science, the bald and bespectacled MacDonald says. He points out that In both, seven characters of identification are enough for positive identification sjnee these seven wouia noi De duplicated in some 38 billion spcci mens. Since there are only i billion DeoDle in the world, this leaves no room for doubt. In fact, these same seven marks of comparison can provide positive identification of a man you've never seen, MacDonald says.
