Well, that's not surprising given that he's reached the ripe old age of 149. 259 00:27:10,729 --> 00:27:13,994 - Excuse me? - I did a low-tech background check on him. 260 00:27:14,099 --> 00:27:17,000 This stuff is so old, they don't keep it on computer. 261 00:27:17,102 --> 00:27:22,438 But Alfred Fellig doesn't exist before 1964, but one Henry Strand does. 262 00:27:22,574 --> 00:27:26,772 He applied for a press pass from the Jersey City Police in 1939 at age 53. 263 00:27:26,845 --> 00:27:29,109 His prints match Fellig's. 264 00:27:29,181 --> 00:27:31,479 But there must be some kind of a mistake. 265 00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:36,350 You think? Because this Henry Strand does not exist before 1939. 266 00:27:36,455 --> 00:27:40,414 However, one LH Rice is on record 267 00:27:40,526 --> 00:27:43,757 as having sat for the New York State Civil Service Exam. 268 00:27:43,829 --> 00:27:46,320 The records don't show whether he passed. 269 00:27:46,431 --> 00:27:49,161 But his thumb print?
