Buyers OF Alleged Struggled Cigars
SoreIy Victimized.
THE MORNING CALLS exclusive publica-
ton Of an encounter between an alleged
smuggied-cigar" vender and Inspector B.
II. Thomas has borne extraordinary fruit
1t will be remembered that last Friday
two sharpers tried to sell Inspector Thomas
certain alleged smuggled cigars" which
were neatly boxed in boxes from Chung
Goey's factory. No. It's. at 1103 Dupont
street. The dealers claimed the cigars had
been smuggied over the Mexican line. and
repacked in the boxes from factory It's at
San Diego.
Yesterday Inspector Thomas visited
Chung Goey's factory, and made an inyen-
tory of the stock. The investigation of the
books showed that 6S2. 500 cigars had been
sold in lots of 30 each since last May, and
Chung Goey admitted most had been sold
to Mexican street-dealers. That is to say
that over Coz, 600 cigars have been sold to
Americans as Mexican struggled goods
The fraud is a clear one, but rests entirely
with the street-dealers. who ply their trade
of fraud in and about the principal streets
OF the city.
That the factory is entirely within the
bounds OF law is shown by their scrupulous
attention to the manifold requirements of
