Fayetteville, June 7—Following a telephone call from Federal Narcotic Agent J.W. McDonald in Raleigh to the police of this city, a woman giving her name as Mrs. Evelyn Barlow was taken from a Raleigh bus on the edge of town and arrested on a charge of selling narcotics. Carried to the police station, she was found to have in her possession 40 grains of morphine concealed in powder boxes.
It is alleged by the Raleigh officers that the woman has been buying narcotics from a Dr. T.F. Jones of that city, who was arrested last October on a charge of violation of the Federal narcotic law and released on a bond of $1,000. The police, it is said, allege that Dr. Jones has been selling narcotics and shipping it to other peddlers, such as Mrs. Barlow. One of the police, it is said, saw the woman buy narcotics from the doctor on last Saturday, and she was traced from place to place in the city. Several days later she attempted to leave the city, and the Federal officers phoned Fayetteville officers to arrest her.
Mrs. Barlow is now being held pending the arrival of Federal officers. Both Dr. Jones and Mrs. Barlow will probably be given a hearing immediately upon her return to Raleigh.
