Andy Dewyer, a 21-year-old youth
with a face and head of such artistic
beauty as would have delighted Van
Dyck, sat before United States Com
missioner Neely Friday morning,
elf-confessed dope fiend and traf-
ficker in the narcotic drugs.
Great black, limpid eyes, with long
lashes, a Grecian nose, a smiling,
friendly mouth, tossing, dark brown
curls, are features of this boy, who
' , lias been tangled in the toils of mor
phine.
Makes Confession.
He confessed everything to the of
ficers wno arrested mm, told now ne
had customers, some of them promt'
t nent Omahans, how he would go to
the Johnnie Moore joint at 221 North

the "dope" den of "Sid" Allen, 1313
Capitol avenue, late Thursday night
and arrested Allen on the charge of
selling morphine. '
This is the place where Harry Ru
dolph lives. He was arrested a few
weeks ago-and is out on bond.
Has Many Customers.
The Allen place is one ot the great
"dope" supply houses of the city.
The officers confiscated a large
quantity of morphine. While they
were there, about an hour. 22 "customers'-
called. All of them had
some plausible excuse when they
found the officers present. Special
Agent Knox chased one darkey down
- the alley. Emerging from the alley
the darkey ran into another colored
man and knocked him down. When
Knox returned to the house with his
captive the other darkey came limping
in, complaining that "some man done
run into me out heah and knocked
me down and done spmned mah
laig."
All the "customers" were allowed
to go, as there was no real evidence
that they were after the drugs.
Hearing Waived.
Charlie Reed, an inmate rf Johnnie
Moore's notorious "dope" joint at 221
North Thirteenth street, arrested a
few days ago for selling morphine,
waived hearing before the commis
sioner and was sent to jail in default
of $3,000 bond. His attorney said
that as he was only a "lieutenant" in
the place the bond ought not to be so
high.
"Well, Johnnie Moore is the 'cap
tain' and he is under $5,000 bond; so
we'll make the 'lieutenant's' only
$3,000," said the commissioner.
Special Consideration.
Federal officials say Moore is re
ceiving, "all the comforts of home"
at the county jail. He is in under two
t arrests with a total of $9,000 bond.
Instead of being confined in the
"bull pen" with the rest of the pris
oners they say he is in the juvenile
ward with young prisoners and has
a cot to sleep on and wears his own
clothes instead of the prison garb.
They do not know the reason for this
special consideration to one of the
worst characters in their custody.
