The Daily Dispatch: February 16, 1865., [Electronic resource], Remarkable detection of a murderer — his likeness photographed from the dead Victim's eye. (search)
Remarkable detection of a murderer — his likeness photographed from the dead Victim's eye. Scientific circles in Europe are just now much interested in a remarkable murder and detection of the murderer in Florence, Italy: The Florence correspondent of the Morning Post reports the details of most remarkable photographic experiments on the eye of a murdered person. It appears that, on the 13th of April, 2d of June and 22d of August, last year, three murders were committed in Florence, in almost precisely similar circumstances, the victims in each case being lodging-house keepers. In each case the "corpse was discovered lying on the floor, with the throat cut from ear to ear, a pool of blood below her head, but only there — no marks of blood in any other parts of the room — and a pocket-handkerchief, the property of some one unknown, close to her person. The trinkets and money which she was supposed to have about her had disappeared, as well as other articles in the house. <
