Photographt A8 a DRTKcnvB Its JrDiciAL Application In Italy. We o blisii to-day a curious and interesting statement relative to anew and impor tant use for photography, andwhichmay eventually form an important! part criminal investigations. It seems Sat the eye of a murdered woman has been magnified and photograph ed in Florence, Italy, and found to represent what is regarded as the profile ot a human face resembling that of her supposed murderer. It is true the testimony in favor of the alleged resemblance is not sufficiently positive to hang a man, but the opinions of such distinguished men of art as the great American sculptor, Hiram Powers, and others, upon the subject, are such as to add weight to the supposition that the likeness is actually that , of .a human being, and, perhaps, that of her, assassin, further investigation, it is expected, will confirm this theory. This idea of pho tographing the human eye for the pur pose of ascertaining whether it retained a certain object is not entirely new.— During the investigation of the myste rious Burdell murder in this city the theory was broached, and some steps taken to ascertain its correctness, but we believe nothing came of it. It now assumes shape ana consistency from this Italian murder, and our scientific men are, therefore, j ustifieddn pursuing their examinations uutil the soundness or fal aityof the theory be established. In this age Ot wonders'we should not be at all surprised at any discoveries in the world of science. Photographs and da guerreotypes have already been impor tant auxiliaries in the detection of crimi nals, and when the “ tell-tale eye” shall be submitted to the same process and found to mirror the features of an object' like that of the human face, truly the day will arrive when the pirate’s maxim, 4 ‘ dead men teii no tales,” will cease to have a meaning. The telegraph, the railroad, daguerreotypes and photographs are now the chief aids of criminal detec tives, and the time may not be tar dis tant when the Christian world may have to rejoice upon the suppression of crime, in a great degree, mainly from the cer tainty of detection.— N.
