PSYCHOLOGY OF BIBLE
MAKINGS HELPFUL IN
SOLVING MYSTERIES
THE AVERAGE MAN MARKS HIS
BIBLE WITH A PURPOSE, SAYS
CRIMINOLOGIST
BERKELEY, Cal., Feb. 26. (/P)—
Pencil marks in Bibles help E. O.
Heinrich, former university professor
and consulting criminologist, solve
mysteries.
It is his experience that “the aver
age man marks his Bible with a
purpose. In doing so he reflects his
innermost thought. Excepting the
‘literateur’ who finds only ‘literary
value’ there, a man reads his Bible
for solace; for release of troubled
spirit. His underscorings indicate
his mental perturbation. Growing
heavier and more pronounced they
gradually reach a climax. Before he
has finished he has traced in the
Scriptures an image of his inner
self.”
A Maryland resident after the
death of his wife, from whom he was
estranged, received from her a pen
ciled notation on a leaf of her Bible
torn from the Fiftieth Psalm. It was
too dim to be read even under a
powerful glass.
Heinrich bleached the paper and
photographed the writing. It was
merely a tender expression of her
love for her husband. In life she
had been too proud to deny the
charges he had laid against her but
the writing was positioned to em
phasize these words, in the Twenty
first verse, following David’s plaint
against slander: These things hast
thou done and I kept silence, though
thou thoughtest I was altogether such
an one.” The husband’s doubts were
answered.
Bible markings also led to the
identification of the victim in the
$«ted Schwartz murder case at Wal
nut Creek, Cal. Henrich established
that the body was not that of Sch
wartz, who carried heavy life insur
ance. A coffee binflle and fragments
of a roll of bedding disclosed the
man was probably a wanderer. Un
derscorings in a partly charred Bi
ble climaxed in Matthew 28:19 “Go
ye therefore and teach x x”. Hen
rich announced the dead man was
an itinerant missionary and his judg
mment was confirmed by friends of
the deceased.
