looked on. They seized him and drove
to his apartment, in the 1900 block OF
Fifteenth street. where his wife, Mrs.

The agents said they found $l9O in
marked money in Lebolo's possession.
Three indictments, charging seven
sales to the same informer were
placed against Lebolo. Both women
were named with him in qpe of the
true bills, while another indictment
charged the women alone with the
sale. Miss Hearn was named with Le
bolo in still another indictment.
Deliveries Traced.
The trio is said to have operated
almost exclusively by automobile de-
liveries. The Federal agents quoted
LeboIo as saying he had made three
other sales just before his arrest.

the country was contained in the in
dictments, which charge the violation

port act by transportation of drugs
