SAFE BLOWERS LEARN SECRET Police Files Show Each Man Has Same Finger Prints. Bert Parrot, Bertillon expert of tie Indianapolis police department. today stated that he does not believe the men under arrest at Decatur, 111., are Edward Stevens and Arthur Welling, suspected safe blowers wanted In Indianapolis. E. G. Allen, chief of the Decatur police, sent enly the linger print formulas to the Indianapolis department, and these formulas do not correspond with those In the Bertillon flies here. A strange coincidence Is In the similarity of the real finger prints of Stevens and Welling. While the patterns of their finger prints are different, still their respective formulas are so near alike that the two cards bearing the finger prints lay side by side In the filing case. This Is the only case where the finger prints of two men arrested at the time had formulas so alike that the cards were filed next to each other. There are more than 12,000 finger prints on file at the local police headquarters. The finger print formulas show that Welling and Stevens have what is known as "ulner loops," while the formulas sent from Decatur have "radial loops.” The men under arrest at Decatur gave their names as Hiram Lewis, Joe Alexander and Charles O'Day. Welling and Stevens were arrested at a hotel in this eity following a series of safe-blowing Jobs in and near Indianapolis in May, 1920. Welling was one of the twentyfour prisoners who escaped from the Marlon County Jail last July. Stevens was too big to get through the hole after the bars were sawed. However, he obtained his freedom by forfeiting a ssno cash bond in Criminal Court. The outfit of explosives and tools for safe blow lng found in the possession of Welling is the most complete ever seized by the Indianapolis police. According to Inspector Fletcher of the detective department the only reason he believes that the men under arrest at
