"That leads me to speak of the quality of the paper in this half-
sheet that was found on Mr. Maitland. Sometimes such a half-sheet
may be mated with the other half from which it was torn as
accurately as if the act were performed before your eyes. There
was no such good fortune in this case, but by measurements made by
the vernier micrometer caliper I have found the precise thickness
of several samples of paper as compared to that of the suicide
note. I need hardly add that in thickness and quality, as well as
in the tint of the ribbon, the note points to person as the
author."
No one moved.
"And there are other proofs--unescapable," Kennedy hurried on.
"For instance, I have counted the number of threads to the inch in
the ribbon, as shown by the letters of this note. That also
corresponds to the number in one of the three ribbons."
Kennedy laid down a glass plate peculiarly ruled in little
squares.
"This," he explained, "is an alignment test plate, through which
can be studied accurately the spacing and alignment of typewritten
characters.
