lt was barely possible, however, that the
state OF Maine would take some notice OF
the business and that proceedings would
be instituted there unless the government
had given protection to King and his
associates in consideration OF the volun-
tsry confession made by him To the
Unitea States treasury officials.
As was stated in The News last
Tuesday, TIE cause of the exposure
OF the peculiar transaction was brought
about by the attempt to have the
pbenacetine made up into pills by a
Boston drug house that was interested IN
the sale or the drug The large quanti-
ties offered for sale, and in possession Of
King and his associates and assistants led
To an inquiry as To the source of so much
Of the drug, and this inquiry alarmed
King and led him To forestall govern
ment investig ltion by making n clean
breast of the whole business
This revelation of smuggling on n priv
ate pleasure craft will prompt the officials
tn keep y sharp lookout i'm the future and
Special Treasury Agent Hentz, who was
detailed on this case said it was the first
instance of smuggling in this way that
be had ever heard of. He also said 1.-The
government will ia my opinion accept an
offer Of compromise and the smugglers
will not suffer Imprisonment.
The tiues will amount to quite heavy
sums. There were 5000 ounces of these
drugs, which retailed in Canada at 30
cents an ounce. Phenacetine WHOLESALERS at
81 IN once, the sulphonal at Sl.25 per
ounce. and / don't know exactly what
the antipyrine sells for. The total value
of the drugs seized is about $4,000, so that
with u good substantial offer of com.
promise from all parties concerned l
think the government will be satisfied.
MIR. King made clean breast OF it all
the way through--a very clean statement
and l n nix that there was nothing held
back. MIR. Saunders and also Capt.
Ne we'll verified tle stat ,ment to me-
1.-The crew are al poor men and wanted
something 10 do Tor the summer, but l
doubt If they made anything out Of it. 1
have been IL years in tho service and do
not remember any serious cases OF SNUG
Cling on private yachts.
In all my experience this Is the first
time that l have found any attempt to
smugglo on pleasure yachts to amount to
anything. We must now look out for
these boats in the future, FOR this affair
has taught a particular lesson to the
treasury agents.

licity has beon given To the' affair on nc

PROMISES WILL
BE REDEEMED.
Will Be No Prosecutions in Snug
Cling Case.
Confiscatlon of Drugs Will BE On y
Act on Taken Hr.

Smuggling on n private pleasure yacht
IN New England waters is something new
in tho experience Of the government
officials aud this case of ths Tomabawk
owned by Gilbert NJ. King has attracted
widespread attention. AS The News
stated two days ago, the confession CT
King probably guaranteed him from
prosecution by the government and rs
Uncls sam keeps his promises there will
probably DO no further legal proceedings
30 far "a the persons concerned in the
smuggling are concerned.
District Attorney Charles A. Wilson
said today that no action would be taken
In the case in this state as the offense was
not committed here. He was of tho opin.
ion that the confiscation OF the drugs
would be the extent of the prosecution.

out of jail. The application for writ OF
habeas corpus is under consideration. az
Is also another move. IL was said by
prominent attorney yesterday that the
lawyers could ask 10 have their client
admitted 10 bail, tho claim being set up
that no evidence had been given against
him warranting tne charge of murder
with malice aforethought. If such an ap-
plication was made this attorney sad
that the government would be called up
OH to show why the prisoner should NOT
be admitted % bail. 10 do this 10 would
be necessary 10 introduce evidence.
This would have the same effect as n
writ Of habeas corpus, for IL would give
the counsel for tho prisoner an oppor-
tuunity TO learn some OF the evidence
against Leavitt. OF course the govern
ment would not introduce in court more
evidence than enough to show probable
cause.
