Head OF GIANT
DRUG SYNDICATE

had ever seen the prisoner before.
While not craving the drug, Gee
Sing maintains a Sphinx-like silence
and exhibits no outward sign of any
emotion even under the most merci-
less grilling by the officials. He merely
stares into space and finally the police
officials have to abandon any attempt
to force facts from him.
A net has been thrown over the en-
tire city and suburbs by the authori-
ties in an effort to locate further sup
plies of the deadly drug, and while
certain associates of the accused
dope peddler" are known to the po-
lice they are being molested for the
present in the hope that others will
be implicated. They are being closely
watched, however, and should they
make any attempt to leave Bridgeport
they will be Immediately arrested.
It was limited today that the source
of Gee Sings opium supply had been
located in Canada, where Gee Sing
went on many occasions lately, leav-
ing Bridgeport and travelling by way
of New Haven and Boston and return
ing to Bridgeport by way of New
York.
Federal officials remain mum on the
subject of the wholesale peddling of
opium by the band which has made
Bridgeport the distributing center for
their illicit trade, but from remarks
which have been dropped by some OF
the prominent officials, it looks as
though the police have in their Gus
tody the leader of the international
opium gang.
