Huge Drug Ring Nabbed in New York City Sweep
Government and individuals teamed to stamp out drug trade in New York where Dr Carlton heads narcotics efforts. About 900 drug peddlers have been jailed in three months, more than $1000 worth of narcotics confiscated, and the drug ring dismantled. New internal revenue chief Nutt says rapid progress in other cities too. Investigators say three types of offenders exist: smugglers, dope peddlers, and addicts. Novel methods include a woman smuggling opium in a bulging skirt. The hunt uses long hours and undercover work, with evidence leading toward high level figures in the ring.
