Valet de Chambers's Fingerprints

Valet de Chambers's Fingerprints

Tools

These fingerprints were the crucial evidence in the murder trial of Judge Driscoll and the conviction of Valet de Chambers (by the alias Tom Discoll). Pudd'nhead Wilson collected the finger prints of Valet de Chambers and Tom Discoll before and many times after Roxy switched them as babies. Wilson matched the fingerprints on the dagger used to murder Judge Driscoll to the current Tom Driscoll, who was really Valet de Chambers. As a result, the real Tom Driscoll was restored and Valet de Chambers was sold down the river for his crimes.
