By a microscopic examination, chpmlsw at the laboratory learn that the burnt match found in the apartment was torn from the match bonk discovered in Brown's pocket. The hair clutched in Elsie Carter's hand is found by careful tests to match Brown's. Even the mud plays its part in the chain of damning facts, a spectrograph being employed to show that the mud found in the Henry Kiefer.

61; Coal Salesman Conducted Harness Business for Years Exempt Fireman Special to the Brooklyn Eagle Lynbrook. July 22 Henry Kiefer, 61, of 60 Marion a retired har-nessmaker and more recently ft salesman for the Philip Dietz Coal Company In Queens, died yesterday in Nassau Hospital, Mineola, after an illness of two weeks. Born in New Hyde Park, Mr. Kiefer had his harness-making business for a number of years at 191 Jericho Turnpike, Mineola. He Joined the coal company after his covers a letter in another room.

It reads: "Dear Elsie: If you return home Isaac Greenberg, Noted Doctor, Dies Hud Bern Associated With Queens Hospital Was Captain at Front Dr. Isaac Ernest Greenberg, 47, of 81-02 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, Rockaway Beach, widely-known surgeon and director of surgery at Rockaway Beach Hospital until his retirement because of Illness two years ago, died yesterday in the hospital. Dr. Greenberg also had been associate surgeon at Queens General Hospital, Jamaica, and on the staffs of St. Joseph's Hospital, Far Rockaway, and Long Beach Hospital, Long Beach.

During the World War Dr. Greenberg enlisted In the Army Medical Corps and eventually was commissioned as a captain. He served at the front during the Meuse and Argonne engagements, and was in charge of Evacuation Hospital 21. I I 8m V' ft Site. Queen Mother Mary chucks a very young royal subject under the chin as she takes time out from reviewing the first batch of men to be assigned to the Royal Armored Corps of the British Army.

(Wide World photo.) "Hello, hello, operator, Police Headquarters, give me Police Headquarters. My madame has been MURDERED." I This telephone plea for aid Is made nightly by Mary King, a maid, in "Murder at Midnight," the New York Police Department's stage presentation at the World Fair. It sets in motion a chain of rapid-fire developments which portray as dramatically as any Broadway thriller the scientific methods used by the city's "finest" in solving a killing which, when first discovered, appear well-nigh impossible of solution. Produced through the Joint efforts of the Homicide Squad and the Technical Research, Laboratory, the drama draws on actual cases for its material. Following the play itself, a lecture is given during which the scientific methods used in determining' who killed Mary King's employer are fully demonstrated.

plot's Authors The department dramatists who conceived and wrote "Murder at Midnight" are Deputy Chief Inspector John J. O'Connel, dean of the Police Academy and director of the Technical Research Laboratory, and Capt. William Mullin of the Homi cide Squad. As the curtain rises the maid dis-, covers the body of her mistress, Elsie Carter, lying dead on a settee in the Carter apartment. The maid's tele- phone call first brings Patrolman Kelly.

Next to arrive are Detective Collins of Kelly's local precinct and Ambulance Surgeon Noble. It is when Captain Plant and De-, tectives Wright and Lenz of the1 Homicide Squad arrive on the scene that the search for clues gets under way in earnest. I Captain Plant: "Detective Wright, make these notes: The deceased isj fully clothed, the lights are still burning, the windows are (turns and says) the lock is not! damaged, snap lock, there is no sign i of a break. The temperature of the! room is 68 degrees (it varies with' the weather. Make a note to have! Lenz remove these cigarettes and I matches and a piece of the metal foil from the top of the liquor bottle, also the glass which evidently has whiskey, probably poured from the bottle, this to be done after the photographs are taken.

Clear the room while the photos are being taken." STRESS VALUABLE CLUES The photographs taken are a closeup of the body and a cleanup of a muddy heel print on the floor. Captain Plant, continuing to dictate notes, points out that strands of hair are clenched in the fingers of the dead woman's right hand. Detective Lenz. examining various objects for fingerprints, brings out some excellent prints on the bottle. Meanwnile Detective Collins dis ry.

as you threatened you would, you will deeply regret it. I am warning you not to do so. I still love you, 1 will meet you tonight. Joe." i CHECK VICTIM'S MOVEMENTS Collins is sent with the finger-' printed bottle to the Bureau of Criminal Identification, and stops on his way to have his local squad 1 check on Elsie Carter's movements prior to her death. Dr.

Gonzales, chief medical examiner, arrives and determines that two bullets arc in the body. Promising to send them to the department ballistic experts after they are removed, he takes the hairs which were in the dead woman's hand and orders a speci men of her blood ient to his labora-, tory. The body Is fingerprinted. i At this juncture Collins reports; by telephone that the fingerprints are those of Joseph Brown, a con man. An alarm is sent out to all moans of egress from the city, in- eluding bus and railroad terminals, steamship lines and airports.

As the search for clues continues, a piece of mud is picked up and behind a piece of furniture two automatic pistol shells are found. These are sent to the ballistic experts and the mud is sent to the Technical Research Laboratory. REPORT BROWN'S CAPTURE Once more the telephone rings. I Captain Plant receives a report that Joe Brown has been captured at North Beach Airport as he was about 1 to flee by plane. Brown denies all: knowledge of the crime.

Captain 1 Plant is told that a button is broken on Brown's sack coat. Captain Plant: "Fine! Have Brown 1 remove his coat and also his shoes. Have some one find or get a pair of old shoes that will fit him. Mark! the sack coat, pistol, shoes and the part of the broken button for iden- i tification. Search the pockets of his! coat and of his trousers to locate a booklet of matches.

Excellent! The shoes, broken button and the coat will be delivered to the laboratory for other necessary examinations. The booklet of matches will also be marked for identification and sent to the laboratory for examination with the matches that were found on the ash tray in the living room of Elsie Carter. Be sure to secure the name of the detective and the time at which the evidence was dis patched in order that a continuity of possession may be shown." METHODS OUTLINED In the ensuing lecture the "methods used to weave a net of evidence around Brown, which finally forced a confession from him after per sistent denials, are revealed to the I audience. A comparison of the fatal bullets with a sample bullet fired 'yp- rW' ft apartment is similar to mud on Brown's shoes. Both are shown by their spectra to contain the same elements, over 40 in number.

PHOTOGRAPHY'S PART The spectrograph also reveals that a piece of metal foil found in the suspect's trouser cuff matches the metal foil removed from the liquor bottle In the Carter apartment. Photographs show that pieces of a broken button found in the apartment are from a broken button on Brown's coat. Photography aLso demonstrates that the muddy heel print contains characteristic markings which are on the heel of one of Brown's shoes. While Brown's apartment was being searched a second automatic pistol was found hidden in an upholstered chair. This gun subsequently connected Brown with a holdup.

It was discovered by means of a portable X-ray unit. MURDER MOTIVE Confronted by the District Attorney with the evidence. Brown, who had been weakening as more incriminating facts were brought to light and even had referred to other crimes he had been convicted of, finally exclaims: "I'm through! You can check this one up against me too. I loved Elsie Carter and my reason for killing her was through anger because she was to return up-State to her husband from whom she was separated. 1 didn't want her to go."

Rockaways Assail Mavor on Plan The Rockaway Board of Trade, opposed to the Transit Commission's plans to eliminate grade crossings along the Rockaway Beach division of the Long Island Railroad by the construction of an elevated structure, recently urged the Mavor to "appoint an impartial commissio'i. to investigate the conditions.

I David Bornstein, executive ecre-! tary of the board, remindPd Mayor I LaGuardia in a letter of his public promise several years ago that new elevated structures would be build in the city as long as he was Mayor. He wrote that "the construction of this elevated structure can only result in an extravagant waste of public funds, which, if providently applied in the first instance, could produce a wealth of good." 1 Terming the an anachronism, I the Rockaway man wrote: "You properly remove dthe 6th Ave. and yet, without even a murmur of protest, you permit the Transit Commission to complete plans for -i the elimination of grade crossings along the Rockaway Beach diviison of the Long Island Railroad at an estimated cost of $9,000,000 by the! construction of an elevated struc-! ture.
