CAPTURED DOPE
ENOUGH To KILL
$500 PERSONS
u, S, Agents Say Public
Does Not Realize Danger
in Drug Traffic,

Dynamite or INT has little on
morphine hydrochloride tablets as a
killer. Federal narcotic officers say
that the dope" found Wednesday
when they captured Orlando J.. Hor-
ton, alleged Chicago dope traficker,
was sufficient to kill over $500 nor
NAL people not addicts to the drug.
Each of the fifteen cans alleged
found in Horizons travelling bag con
tanned 437h grains. "a single grain
is a fatal dose for the individual who
is not a dope addict" said L. j. u
mer, narcotic officer, today.
The dope" in the cans was put up
in cubes of about four grains each
There were about 100 cubes, about
one-half inch square in each can.
Narcotic officers say they believe
there is a ring behind the alleged
operations of Horton and are making
efforts to ascertain the higher ups"
Traffic in Indianapolis
There appears to be an evident
lack of knowledge by most people
as to the extent to which this
creeping, cancerous growth is reach
ing into the country said Timer.
I'VE believe the traffic has been
going on around Indianapolis for d
long time to a considerable extent
far more than the public realizes.
The Harrison Narcotic Act of
Dec. II. 1914, made it unlawful to
distribute or aid in distributing
morphine. cocaine, heroin, and other
derivatives of opium and coca leaves
to persons under Government super.
vision. a druggist cannot lawfully
dispense such drugs except on a pre-.
scription issued by a physician for a
legitimate purpose.
