The seizure was made last night at the pier of the French liner Itochambeau when the agents inter- cepted five packing cases consigned to Philadelphia. Connection between the consign- ment, which is regarded as the larg- st scizure ever made, and the Roth- stein case was made through the link of Joseph Unger, who is under a smuggling charge growing out of Gevelopments in the Rothstein case. Agents Working Charles H. Tuttle, United States torncy, said agents working on the e here and in Philadelphia learn- ed that the five packing cases were intended for ultimate delivery to a amed Klein, which is one of used by Unger, At the tme Unger was atrested in Buftalo while en route to Chicago two trunk containing narcotics valued at $2, V00,000 were seized in New York. The federal grand jury investigat- ing the connection of Rothstein with an international narcotic smuggling syndicate will be given the facts in the latest scizure, said Mr. Tuttle. | “This seizure and the one made | the other day shows the existence of a big international drug ring with | hcadquarters in France or Switzer- | 1and," the federal attorney said. “We | will endeaver, through the grand | Jury, to establish the identity of the | persons who manufacture and at- tempt to smuggle the drugs into the | country, indict them and endeavor to secure their extradition and bring |them to justice in this country or, it that is not possible, endeavor to | bring them to justice abroad under the provisions of our treaty.” Sent From France Mr. Tuttle said the five cases, which are four feet square and three feet high, were sent from somewhere |in France and that the consignment papers were made out with fake mes and blind addresses at both ds, Four of the cases were opened by federal agents and found to be filled | with opium, cocaine and morphine.
