The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1915-10-25

That morphine, cocaine and other
members of the morphine family, are
being distributed among fiends in
Hattiesburg and in Forrest county in
varying quantities, is the belief of the
Hattiesburg police who today started
an investigation of complaints regis
aSered at headquarters by physicians
"a others of the city.
rhat there is systematic way Of
getting morphia to fiends, one which
II is almost impossible for the police
to discover, is not doubted.
For several weeks information from
various sources has been received at
police headquarters to the effect that
morphine in various forms is being
distributed in the city. The police
however, have been unable to ascer-
tain definitely the sources of the sup
plies. They have been morally GER
tain of the identity of the persons re
sponsble but enough evidence to in
sure conviction has not been obtain
able.
Reliable information.
1--WE have been told, and reliably so
too" said Chief Bennett today, tina
certain doctors and nurses have beei
doing a land office business in distrin
uting narcotics since the new Harrl
ehN anti-narcotic law went into effec'
We know that certain recognize
hends do not seem to have suffel
ed by the enactment of the law, an
we wondered why, An investigate
has shown that they are getting ma
cotics from some source.
I'VE think We are on the rigf
trail and believe that before man
days the distributors will be appr
hended."
