plete as may be obtainable, and shall attach thereto as part of said

be ascertained by such State's Attorney.
1916, ch. 556, sec. 643.
643. The record herein provided for shall not be made public,

the order of the Judge of said Court, or of the State's Attorney, which
said order shall be attested by the seal of the Court. Whenever, in the
trial of any criminal case, the fact of previous conviction of any person
for any crime may be admissible, any such record shall be admissible
in evidence for the purpose of proving the fact of such conviction and
the crime for which such person was convicted.
