Black Museum-48-Two Bullets

from the Black Museum, a repository of death and memorials of crime. Here in the grim stone structure on the Thames, which houses Gotham Yard, is a warehouse of homicide. For everyday objects, a pocketbook, a rag doll, a paperweight murder will open it up and for the permission of the curator will take out two small objects that speak directly of violence and sudden death.

In the palm of my hand, I am holding two bullets. Each has claimed a life, an innocent life, and these twin messengers of death have a common origin, although three years passed before the first was followed on its fatal mission.

When the bullets were rotated, grew by grew, under the comparison microscope, points of similarity in the scoring were evident. It is established beyond doubt that the bullets were fired from the same weapon. A service infield fortifies as issued to the fighting forces of Britain.

But these bullets were never fired against the enemies of Britain. That is why they can be seen today in the Black Museum. The Criminal Investigation Department of the London Police, we bring you the dramatic stories of the crimes recorded by the objects in Scotland Yard's Gallery of Death.

The Black Museum Up in yards music as beyond these stone walls the life of London flows and eggs like the muddy waters of the Thames But here it is quiet very quiet as we're watching Objects each one marked with the names of the times the wheels of justice turned slowly

But more of that when we come to the glass case at the end of the gallery the watching eyes are there just below the ceiling They hang the death masks of criminals of bygone days.
