Drug Addict, Racked by Withdrawal From Morphine, Dies in Jail

 
March 16, 1910, Drug Addict 

March 16, 1910: The Times says that another addict died in police custody because he was denied drugs in jail and went into convulsions.  The pharmacy board official who caught Harry Carson says he’s reluctant to make such arrests because of the danger that addicts will die in jail when suddenly deprived of drugs.
