Inspector Brinker was in Victoria and spotted O'Brien, but s did not attempt an arrest. He quietly kept him in view, followed him aboard znd to this civ and the assistance of Inspector Osborne effected the capture here. When O’Brien was stopped by Spezial Officer Osborne at the gangplank as stepped from the stoamer at Schwa bacher's wharf he protcsted against what he cailed an outrage in being summarily halted. The officer calmly proceeded to the grip, howuver, and found it stored with smuggled cpium. In ali thirty one-pound_tins were racked snugly to- gether in his grip and .n the lining of his overcoat. Their market value would be estimated roughly at ubout $400. The duty on the whole would amount to $8 a pound, or $I18. As soon as the smuggled oplum was found in the grip Osborne took O'Brien to the police station and had him locked up. He also took charge of the opium. O'Brien says he was on his way to San Franelsco, where his wife lives.
