This is actually both a plot hole (shared with many other movies of this genre) and an anachronism, but with only one choice available I'll lodge it under "Plot Holes."When Vincent van Der Lyn is arrested at the site of a murder with the murder weapon gun in his hand, a gunshot residue test had been available worldwide since 1933 which would have easily cleared him. The plot hole is actually two plot holes, first that someone who finds a freshly-killed or nearly-killed person just happens to pick up the murder weapon, which everyone knows not to do but yet is an essential plot element in the mystery noir/gumshoe and international mystery genre of the era, and second that since 1933 gunshot residue tests are available to clear anyone entrapped in this situation (which is almost reverse anachronistic since it's the NON-use of an older existing and commonly available item instead of the use of an item from a future era.
