Two Men, ArreSted Here Several Months Ago, Be- ing Closely Watched STAMFORD. June 8.— Members of the Federal Narcotic Division recently completed an inves- tigation in Stamford into the increased use of cocaine, morphine and heroin by addicts here. The Federal men, co-operating with the local police, made an inquiry here because of the alleged prevalence. and growth, of addicts throughout. the community. The Sentinel learned this yesterday after an investigation of several days. . and after questioning numerous police officials, druggists and doctors throughout Stamford. The investigation by Federal men came about as the result of the arreest here of two men. three months ago, who were wanted by the New Haveh police for fileddling narcotics and on a minor charge of stealing clothes. The men were arrested in Stamford: and confined in the local Jail. They gave their names as "Crook" Conner- und John Potter. The two men. according to the police, were drug-addicts themselves. Their plea for drugs. during their confinement finally became so urgent, that on advice of Dr. John J. ityle. acting through the Police Department. they were given small doses. as part of a treatment. The drugs were ob- tained from the Church Pharmacy, 239 Atlantic Street. The police last night refused to confirm the arrests here of the two men despite the fact that it is com- mon knowledge, and that there is a blotter-record of the case. Connors and Potter were released' two weeks after their arrests. After their release no further"}lrlrrlson- tame!> cocaine, morphine or other drug, in Stamford. They stayed in town, however,- and. for the past three weeks. are said to have been under the constant surveillance of the police. The men are being watched, it is cruxnored from unquestionable sources. because of their allaged connection with a prominent Stamford business man. a "higher up", who has been ob- taining drugs through the two men. The police, in their anxiety to ap- prehend several members of a drug- peddling gang who it is believed drift in and out of Stamford. put a iwoman “stool" to work with Connm‘r ’and Potter. The woman, reporting regularly to the police. recently left town. It was learned last night that. on the signature of the Health omcex acting- through the Police Department. the woman “stool'.' obtained drugs from the Church Pharmacy ostensib- ,ly for Potter and-Connors. ’The police it is thought by "feeding” the men in this manner through their hired op- erative that further information of the alleged drug—selling activities would be obtained. The woman. however, skipped town suddenly and is now believed to be hiding in New York. While the police aro especially se- the federal probe, it is thought entirely probable that within the next few days several arrests will be made. either by federal men or by the local police acting on instruction from the Department of Justice headquarters at New Hm en. the narcotic situation indicates that commaratlvely few prescriptions for cocaine or other drugs are handled by local druggists. Two of the larger drug stores. Jones and Law rence' s say that no addict pre- scriptions have been presented to them for nearly three years. 50,000 remarkably free of drug users. Informed of the recent police and federal investigation they said it was the first intimation of any prevalence of addicts in severalyears.
