The police have many ways of catching criminals. One way of catching them is by fingerprinting. Fingerprinting is the study of the patterns on our fingertips. We have known that no two fingerprints are exactly the same for hundreds of years. However, it wasn't until 1910 that the first criminal in the USA was convicted(被判有罪) using fingerprint evidence.
Early on the morning of September 19, 1910, Hiller's wife noticed that the light which they usually left on was off. When Hiller went to find out what was happening, he saw a stranger at the top of the stairs. The stranger had broken in and wanted to steal. Hiller and the stranger started to fight, but the stranger had a gun. He shot Hiller twice and ran away.
Hiller's wife ran to Hiller when she heard the gunshots but found him dead. So she called the police. Soon after, the police caught Thomas Jennings, not far from the Hillers' house.
The only problem was no one saw the criminal. However, the police had started using fingerprinting at that time. According to Hiller's wife, only several hours before Hiller's death, he had painted some wood near the kitchen window. Then the police checked the wood completely and found some fingerprints in the wet paint.
During the trial(审判), the police proved that the fingerprints belonged to Jennings, and he was convicted of Hiller's murder. Since then, fingerprinting has helped in the conviction of hundreds of thousands of criminals.

A dog is shouting and jumping, followed by Hryukin, the local goldsmith. Hryukin catches the dog to stop it from running away. The dog is afraid, and Hryukin is angry about his bleeding finger.
Soon, many villagers gather around Hryukin and the dog. Hryukin tells Otchumyelov that he was minding his own business when, for no reason, the dog bit him. Hryukin shows his finger and is worried that he won't be able to work because of his injury(受伤). “The dog's owner should pay me！” Hryukin says.
Otchumyelov agrees and adds that the dog must be put down as well. “Who owns this dog？” he asks the villagers. When someone answers that the owner is the powerful General Zhigalov, Otchumyelov becomes nervous and suddenly suggests a different possibility: This dog may be innocent(无罪的).
“How could this tiny dog reach your finger if you were minding your own business？” Otchumyelov asks Hryukin. Someone answers that he saw Hryukin anger the dog by sticking a cigarette in its face. Hryukin starts to deny this, but he is stopped by Yeldyrin. ________. Very quickly, Otchumyelov nodded his head. But just as he decides they must kill the dog, Yeldyrin remembers seeing a similar dog on the general's land.
Finally, the general's cook arrives on the scene with the truth. The cook says that this dog isn't General Zhigalov's but instead belongs to the general's brother, another powerful man. After hearing this, Otchumyelov quickly praises the dog and laughs about the whole accident. As the cook leaves to return the dog to its owner, Otchumyelov threatens to hurt Hryukin for making a scene. The villagers laugh at the goldsmith and his injured finger.
