The police have many ways of catching criminals. One way of catching them is by fingerprinting. Fingerprinting is the study of the patterns on our fingertips. We have known that no two fingerprints are exactly the same for hundreds of years. However, it wasn't until 1910 that the first criminal in the USA was convicted(被判有罪) using fingerprint evidence(证据).
Early on the morning of September 19,1910, Hiller's wife noticed that the light which they usually left on was off. When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. The stranger had broken in and wanted to steal. Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away.
Hiller's wife ran to Hiller when she heard the gunshots but found him dead. So she called the police. Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers' house.
The only problem was no one saw the criminal. However, the police had started using fingerprinting at that time. According to Hiller's wife, only several hours before Hiller's death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window. Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint..
During the trial(审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller' s murder(谋杀). Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals.
