Original Toronto Star caption: Star reporter George Gamester watches machine with which polygraph expert John Jurens is giving him a lie detector test. The tube harness around Gamester's chest measures his breathing; the blood-pressure cuff on his arm monitors his heartbeat and the wires on his fingertips measure the tiny electrical current in the body that increases with nervous perspiration. Gamester admits he was nervous.
