li'URTIIER INI"'RIIATION CONCERNING CASES REPORTED DORING 1950

No. 335 Seizures at Hambour1, British Zone of Germany, on 27 March 1950, at Rendsbur1 on 1 April 1950 and at Sehnde on 3 April 1950. Supple• mentary report No. 30/Add.1 communicated by the Government of the United Kin1dom on 11 December 1950. (1600/Add.1) 1(a). Dilaudide: 1432 ampoules Eucodal: 10 ampoules Miscellaneous dru1s. 3. On 19 October 1950, the defendants were 1iven the followin1 sentences by the Criminal Division of the Land1ericht Hambour1: Kuhr, 3 months' imprhonment; Thomas, a fine of DM.900. (U.S.A. $214.30); Krivans, 6 · weeks' . imprhonment. This latter sentence has no validity as yet, Krivans havin1 appealed for a review. Proceedin1s a1ainst Wottrich were stopped. No indictaent was preferred a1ainst Lenke,

No. 573 Seizure at London on 7 Septeaber 1950. Supplementary report com• municated by the Governaent of the United Kin1dom on 29 November 1950. (1762/Add'.1) 1(a), Hashish: 25 kl• 798 1r. 2. Further examination of the dru1 in question showed that it did not consist of hemp plant tops, as had been assumed, but of the extracted resin, or hashish, compressed in small canvas sacks, as commonly found in the Middle East. There were alto1ether 78 such sacks which were wrapped in pairs in cellophane and fastened with strips of brown adhesive paper. Each sack bore a blue ink stamp on both sides, depictin1 a steamer, and an island with palm trees, to1ether with an Arabic inscription, which has been translated as "KEF-EN-NIL" or "PLEASURE OF THE NILE". The nature of the drua stron1lY su1aeats that it was not destined for the United Kin1dom where the hemp user is not accustomed to hashish, but for some other market. Coutoules is the proprietor of a cafe in Alexandria and as such would hardly have ai1ned on as a pantry-boy at £9 (U.S.A. $25.20) a month without some other financial inducement, from which it seems clear that he was actively en1a1ed in the traffic.

You have nothing to hope from any promise or favour and nothing to fear from any threat whether or not you say anything. Anything you do say may be used as evidence at your trial."

•To the best of my knowledge about the middle of the month of April, 1950 I met Joseph MORGAN, on the ship S.S. MONTCLAIR, while he was selling clothes. At that time I was indebted, and MORGAN and I discussed different ways of making money. During our discussion we mentioned "DOPE" but I cannot recall whether it was MORGAN or I who mentioned "DOPE" first, I had heard that a lot of money could be made in the drugs traffic, without thinking that it was as serious as it is. I asked MORGAN if he knew any contacts for the sale of drugs. He answered me that he could easily get rid of them, and if I could get some I would not be stuck with them. During our first voyage of 1950 after the discussion with MORGAN, I bought about 20 granmesofCOCAINE for $145.00 (U.S.A. $131.80) in Turkey from an unknown man. On my return to Montreal on ·this voyage, I gave the COCAINE to MORGAN for the sale of same, with an .understanding with him that he was to get 20% of the profit. The COCAINE which I gave to MORGAN was apparently tested by him and by his contacts, and I was informed that it was no good. I do not recall whether or not this COCAINE was destroyed or not. Outing this same trip I bought some COCAINE in Italy, at NAPOLI from an unknown man. This purchase was for 20 grammes and I paid about $50.00 (U.S.A. $145.45) plus a watch for it. I gave this COCAINE to MORGAN also and the same contact tested it and said it was good COCAINE. This contact did not buy it and I never received any money for it, and MORGAN kept it. At the beginning of the month of July, 1950 I left again on a trip aboard the S.S. MONTCLAIR. During this trip I bought about 115 grammes of Heroin for $400.00 (U.S.A. $363.65) from Andre NIFORATOS, 138 Rue NOTARA, PIRAEUS GREECE, the latter told me that this Heroin came from Athens, Greece where same was manufactured and he could any quantity. I also bought some MORPHINE during this trip. It weighed about87 grammes, and I paid $150.00 (U.S.A. $136.35) for same. This purchase was made through the help of Mazza FRANCISCO, via FORIA No. 280, NAPOLI, ITALY. On my return, at the beginning of September 1950, as I had MORGAN's telephone number, I contacted him by speaking to his wife. This same night that I phoned MORGAN came and met me on the ship. I told him that I had brought HEROIN & MORPHINE with me that I had acquired during my trip. We discussed the sale of the drugs. A few days later I put the drugs in my pocket and ]eft the ship. I do not recall exactly the meetings and the transactions that I made with MORGAN and HARRY DASH, but one thing certain is that a few days before the departure of the MONTCLAIR I gave the HEROIN and the MORPHINE to Jos. MORGAN. The latter never paid me for these drugs. As for HARRY DASH I wish to state that it was he who drove MORGAN and me when we tried to sell the drugs, and that he was aware of our affair. The same night thet I gave the drugs to MORGAN, we went to the home of Harry DASH on Ste. Catherine St. W., Mtl., Que,, and there DASH and MORGAN ]eft the car with the package of drugs and hid it in some spot unknown to me. To my knowledge MORGAN and DASH did not sell these drugs during the time the "MONTCLAIR" was in the Montreal port. I ]eft 18 Summary of illicit transactions and seizures November -December 1950

"again on a tri? in , the middle of September 1950 returning to Montreal November 7th, 1950. I can affirm that on this latter trip I rlid not purchase any drugs and furthermore do not intend ever to buy any again, for I realize now that this stuff is very destructive.w 3. On 11 October 1950 Morgan and Dash were each sentenced to imprisonment for six months and to a fine of $200 (U.S.A. $198.88) or, in default of payment, to an additional 6 months' imprisonment. On 8 November 1950 Beaulieu was sentenced to imprisonment for 6 months and a fine of $200 (U.S.A. $198.88) or, in default of payment, to an additional 8 days' imprisonment.
