It shows to me plainly the effect of disease on the
heart, even if it is latent in the subject. While I have been
using the psychological law of suggestion, and have been
recapitulating as well as I was able under the circumstances the
whole story of the crime briefly in moving and talking pictures, I
have found, in addition, that the same heart which shows the
emotions I expected also shows the disease which I discovered in
the blackmailing letter.
"There was surprise at the sight of the gambling den, rage at the
raid, fear at the murder of the girl in the other den and the
disposal of her body, excitement over the racing motor cars,
passion over the kidnapping of the girl, anger over the little
detectaphone, and panic at the siege of the bandits, as I showed
by the selection of the films that I was getting closer and closer
to the truth. And there was the same abnormality of the heart
exhibited throughout."

were riveted on his face.
