Dr. Slinon ju said the man Is an addict and that in at l1, least five casee In which he contributed quantities of blood, the patients received fluid "that rruy have contained drug. There is no way of determining this point, he explained, because the prost nce of drug in the blood never has been tn detected by research. Milo, a big, upstanding man with florid face and great strength, was arrested by Detectives Sails and Boylan of Dr.

Simon's staff. Dr. Simon said man made no resistance, but handed over three phials containing drug and an eye dropper and safety pin, the 1 ast named articles forming a homemade hyper- 1 dermic syringe. The Deputy Cnmmis- H. sloner said also the prisoner admitted being an addict.
