Ben Kuhl’s Letter

Origin
Ben Kuhl was a stagecoach robber who was convicted guilty on circumstantial evidence. A bloody palm print was found on a letter, which was used to try Kuhl. This was the first time fingerprints were admitted into court cases as evidence and set a precedent for later cases.

Effects
When a handprint is placed on it, it creates a piece of paper that contains all relevant information about a person. Name, history, associates and skills all appear on the newly created sheet. However, it needs the target person to directly touch it, which can be hard to obtain.
