No. 2—' The Alias'
The alias is as old as crime itself. Some criminals use as many as twenty false names-one man used 446! — but a change of name does not change the fingerprints, characteristics, habit, or method of a criminal
This programme, the second of a series written by Robert Barr and Percy Hoskins in co-operation with New Scotland Yard, tells how the systematic work of the Fingerprints Department and the Criminal Record Office protects you from the habitual criminal. Experts from Scotland Yard tell you how it's done. Produced by John Glyn-Jones
