Abstract

The scientific identification of bullets which has been developed by Charles E. Waite and his associates represents a distinct forward step in criminology. My interest in Mr. Waite's work is personal as well as professional. Several years ago, when I was Governor of New York, I designated him to make an investigation in- the case referred to by Major Goddard in this article. The situation he uncovered in that case led hirfi to begin a study of bullet evidence which has resulted in discoveries which may well revolutionize this kind of expert testimony. For this service he has earned the thanks of every prosecutor and every attorney for the defense who is sincerely desirous that the truth be told.
