196 PUDD'NHEAD WILSON Here are B's at five months, and also at seven months. They, too, exactly copy each other, but the patterns are quite different from A's, you ob- serve. I shall refer to these again presently, but we will turn them face down, now. "Here, thrown up ten sizes, are the natal auto- graphs of the two persons who are here before you accused of murdering Judge Driscoll. I made these pantographic copies last night, and will so swear when I go upon the witness-stand. I ask the jury... to compare them with the finger-marks of the ac- cused upon the window-panes, and tell the court if they are the same." He passed a powerful magnifying-glass to the foreman. One juryman after another took the cardboard and the glass and made the comparison. Then the foreman said to the judge: "Your honor, we are all agreed that they are identical." Wilson said to the foreman : "Please turn that cardboard face down, and take this one, and compare it searchingly by the mag- nifier, with the fatal signature upon the knife-handle, and report your finding to the court." Again the jury made minute examinations, and again reported: "We find them to be exactly identical, your honor." Wilson turned toward the counsel for the prosecu- tion, and there was a clearly recognizable note of warning in his voice when he said: 197 MARK TWAIN "May it please the court, the State has claimed, strenuously and persistently, that the blood-stained finger-prints upon that knife-handle were left there by the assassin of Judge Driscoll.
