Alcohol Found In
Body Discovered
Will Not Burn
(Continued From Page Three)
ply accidents to which drunken per- i
sons, being careless, become victims I
by setting their clothes on fire. How
ever, from the point of view of for
ensic medicine, it is important to
decide whether such self-ignition of
the body is possible.
Self-Ignition Impossible
It was alleged in 1874 that the
Countess Gorlitz became ignited
spontaneously in Darmstadt, Ger
many, and burned to death. A com
missioner whose members included
the greatest chemical experts of the
age, Liebig and Bischog, studied this
case and completely refuted the
theory of spontaneous combustion.
The commission found that the
human body, soaked with ever so
much alcohol, could not ignite ofj
itself by any means, nor could it j
easily be set on fire. In the decom
position of a corpse, inflammable j
gases may develop, but not even the
ignition of these will lead to incin
eration. Liebig’s investigation’s re
futed the theory of self-combustion
for once and for all.

Alibi Of Murder
Suspect Is Proven
Worthless Police
An alibi is a delicate thing! -
Just how great a change can be !
made in a man’s future by a single 1
1 mishap is illustrated in “The Crosby j
Case”, the Universal mystery drama ;
which comes to the Dream Theatre
on Sunday, with Wynne Gibson, On-!
;slow Stevens, Skeets Gallagher and
Alan Dinehart in featured roles. I
Stevens, in the role of an aviator,;
is arrested and charged with the i
murder of another man, but confi
dently relies on his ability to prove
that he was at an airport at the ex
act time the crime was committed.
When he was apprehended he was
about to take off with three men
already seated in a waiting plane,
and all of them will testify to his
presence at the fatal hour.
But the police show him a news
paper chronicling the death of the
three men in a crash just after their
take-off, and the valued alibi vanish
es in an instant. Since a revolver
issued to him was the weapon used j
in the killing, the aviator is held by
the police and the solving of the!
crime proceeds.
This is only one of the many in
teresting situations in this murder
mystery, which was taken from the
records of the New York police de
partment, and which furnishes an il
luminating picture of the methods us
ed by crime detectors in a great city.
