Garland Williams, director of the federal bureau of narcotics for the New York area, worked on the case 48 continuous hours. The find consisted of 459 ounces of pure heroin, valued in the black market at $2,500 an ounce. An international ring of smugglers was suspected when the wrapping of the heroin was found to be identical with the wrapping of $250,000 ; of heroin seized two months ago from the motor ship John Ericsson. The Ericsson since was damaged to an extent of $1,500,000 by fire at its North river pier. z The arrived from Marseilles. Action started with a purely routine inspection of seamen leaving the pier. Lawrence Murray, port patrolman, found in the money belt of Cesur Negro, 28, a French seaman, four packages, each weighing 8 ounces. After the seamans arrest, federal agents were notified and undertook a search , of the freighter. In a locker for soiled linen, they unearthed 50 additional packages. Heroin is never sold pure to addicts, but is adulterated heavily, until an original ounce comes to many times its original dimensions. It is this which gives the narcotic drug its excessive black market value. , Cant just too smoky, ' dusty and crowded for the U.

In addition to providing the nation with the worlds most accurate time checks, the observatory warns the radio industry of sun spot activity, puts out almanacs, supplies data on tides, phases of the moon and sunsets and sunrises, and figures out calendars. - Heroin worth the largest seizure of narcotics in New York history, was confiscated by federal agents from the TOO MUCH SMOKE: at $2.75.
