MORPHINE FOUND IN WALNUTs
Unique Way Discovered for Smuggling
Drus 90 Prisoners I'm the
County Jail.

Curiosity excited by a seemingly insa-
table appetite for English walnuts by
prisoners in the county jail led to the dis
eovery Tuesday morning OF the most unique
smuggling device that has ever come to
The notice OF the local authorities.
half dozen large English walnuts
brought in with a prisoners breakfast
from a restaurant were seized by Deputy
County Sheriff Osborn. The shells were
cracked open and each revealed, instead Of
the kernel a teaspoonful OF morphine,
which had been packed neatly insido% The
Two halves OF the shell were dexterously
glued together The smuggling OF cocaine
INTO the prisoners in coffee and under the
orusts Of pie has long been known to the
lsilers. Those dellcacies coming from out
side restaurants have been pronoun sed
eontraband for that reason, but the much
more satisfactory device Of the English
walnut Is an innovation.
Hereafter" said Deputy Sheriff Osborn,
I'VE will prohibit English wainuts OF any
kind OF nut for that matter, coming into
The jail"
