Beard: - - | Hair: Blk | Complexion: Dk Brown | Weight: 165 | Build: Well Measured at Cincinnati, O., June 16, 1905 by Pfingster REMEASURED His previous criminal record is: July 1, 1905, shooting to kill a police officer of this city; 5 years in the Ohio Penitentiary; May 31, 1910, assault and battery upon a white girl - no prosecution, case dismissed. A liberal reward will be paid for the arrest of this party. WM. H. JACKSON, Chief of Police, Cincinnati, Ohio." An important historical broadside of early 20th-century American law enforcement, race relations, and forensic science, The Bertillon System. It deals with high-profile gruesome capital murder cases and a sensational cross-border backdrop. It highlights the high-profile media and police response to an interracial marriage ending in homicide during an era of profound racism. Jones was born in Missouri c. 1873, moved to Cincinnati, worked as coachman and teamster (a driver of horse-drawn wagon teams). In 1905, he shot a Cincinnati police officer and served 5 years in the Ohio Penitentiary. Shortly after his release, on May 31, 1910, he was arrested for assault and battery of a local white woman. The case was dismissed without prosecution. He married Bertha Courtney (referred to in local records as Bertha Jones). On July 14, 1911, Bertha disappeared. On August 4, her decapitated body was discovered in a sewer line in Norwood, Ohio. Police Chief William H. Jackson released this circular on August 8, 1911. Investigators theorized that Jones was a serial killer, connecting him to other local homicides, including the death of an associate, black man named Charles Johnson, who helped Bertha leave Jones. After the discovery of Bertha's body Jones fled to Canada, using the alias "William Campbell" in Montreal. There, in August 1913, Jones (now Campbell) slit the throat of George Muir, the ex-boyfriend of his new girlfriend, Lillie Jackson. He was arrested by Canadian authorities. He was arrested in Montreal for Muir's murder. Ohio never extradited him for Bertha's murder because Canada hanged him on Jan.24, 1914 for George Muir's homicide. The execution drew such chaotic crowds that Canada banned the general public from witnessing future prison executions. See The Woman in the Sewer - on YouTube. The media coverage of the murders and manhunt drew national attention, including The New York Times, with emphasis of the marriage being interracial. decapitating the man, and on March 28, 1935, at Montreal's Bordeaux Prison, the same facility where Charles Jones had been hanged 21 years prior, Tomasina Sarao was hanged along with two accomplices for a murder-for-insurance plot, she was decapitated.

"In 1875, English professor William Grylls Adams (1836 - 1915) and Richard Evans Day discovered that illuminating a junction between selenium and platinum produced a continuing flow of electricity, providing the first demonstration [1877] that an electric current could be produced by light.In 1883, using this discovery, American inventor Charles Fritts (1850-1903) demonstrated the first operational solar cell made from selenium deposited on a thin layer of gold. He published a brief summary of a presentation on his invention in "A New Form of Selenium Cell" (in American Journal of Science 26 pp. 465-472, 1883) [the paper offered here].Fritts demonstrated the feasibility but not the practicality of producing selenium solar cells, as their efficiency was less than 1%."--David Wenner, "The History of Physics Collection", p 607.…
