Makino was closely acquainted with Genichi Yagi, implicated in the seizure at Seattle in April 1936. Yagi was asked by Toshiyoshi Nagai, one of the accused in the seizure at Los Angeles in October 1936, living at Seattle, to bring narcotics on the mail boat on the understanding that Nagai would purchase them at a high price. On his return to Japan, Yagi got into touch with the above-mentioned persons who determined to make money by smuggling narcotics to America. It was decided to pool the money for the purchase of narcotics and, using the word " ueki” as a code-word for narcotics, Makino had already established contact by letter with Nagai. At Osaka, Shimizu obtained morphine from Sawaguchi; which was secretly packed in rubber-coated bags and hidden on board the Koci Maru, the Kosei Maru, the Hikawa Maru, the Keian Maru, and other boats-going to:- America.

O.C.S./Conf. 154(a). Juliau had stated that it was given to him by one" Auguste ”, who was first identified by the American authorities as Auguste Brining, stoker 1281/388 (310-313). on board the s.s. Normandie. Investigations by the authorities of Le Havre, however, cleared Brining of complicity in the matter, and Juliau, when confronted with Brining in New York, failed to recognise him as the person who had supplied him with the opium. The person who handed the heroin to Georges Limacher and Henri Poncet, members of the crew of s.s. Normandie, has been identified as Joseph Mancuso, an Italian who has on various occasions supplied seamen with drugs. The French authorities have as yet been unsuccessful in their search on French territory for Mancuso, whose extradition has been requested by the United States. - No. 541.

The OCS/Cont. 326(a) name of the person implicated in this seizure is Thomas Zonjić, not Thomas Zonzie, and it is incorrect for this person to represent himself 30243/387, as an Austrian national in view of the fact that the original passport was not issued in the name of Thomas Zonjić, but in the name of Kata Zonjic, his wife Thomas Zonjic and their child, Marie, were entered on this passport as accompanying persons. This passport was issued by the former K k. Bezirkshauptmannschaft (District Office) of Metkovic in Dalmatia, on December 18th, 1900, for three years, and thus became invalid on December 18th, 1903 The passport can be considered only as proof of the fact that the Zonjics once possessed the right of citizenship in the Austrian part of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, but not that they were ever citizens of the Austrian State which entered into existence in 1918 The name of Thomas Zonjić appears neither in the records of the Federal Police Directorate, Vienna, nor in those of the International Bureau at the seat of the Federal Police Directorate in Vienna He was never registered at the police department in Vienna.

About July 30th, 1937, the Port Said branch of the Bureau received information concerning a plan by which the accused intended to smuggle drugs into Egypt by aeroplane. After the receipt of this information, it was reported that Ali El Mattari had arrived at Port Said, and a few days later a number of smugglers visited him at his hotel. One of the confidants of the Bureau was instructed to get into touch with El Mattari and try to find out his plans. El Mattari introduced the confidant to Minas Kathreptis, Photios Cominos and Gaetano Scotto in a garden, and they stated that they had found a safe way to bring narcotics from Palestine to Egypt by aeroplane. It was arranged that Kathreptis was to go to Aleppo and to see the quality of the drugs ; if they were satisfactory, he was to send a letter to Cominos to tell him to send the aeroplane to receive the drugs. On August 7th, a letter was *received that the drugs were ready and that the aeroplane should proceed direct to Aleppo. Cominos asked Scotto to get ready to leave by aeroplane, but Scotto stated that he could not go to Aleppo because he had to land in Palestine to refuel and because, on return, he would be obliged to land again to refuel and in all probability the authorities would search the plane.

The O.C. of the Frontiers Section continued the search, and on September 2nd a telephone message was received stating that the suitcase had been found.

On September 11th, a watch was kept near this house and led to the arrest of Izelin and Beguelin, as they were entering the premises where Coaleval lived. Izelin gave his name as Marcel Lavaucourt and two addresses at Nice and Valence. His address in Paris could not be traced, nor could that of Beguelin. When arrested, Beguelin was in possession of a Swiss passport in his own name issued at Geneva on September 4th, 1937, and of a permit of residence for the Canton of Geneva. The three traffickers kept in close touch through a certain Benoist, a hotel and restaurant proprietor of 27, rue de Seine, Paris. It is not clear whether Benoist was an unconscious figure-head or an active accomplice. In any case, the correspondence between the traffickers was delivered at 27, rue de Seine, addressed to Benoist or to "Marcel ", or " Charley " or " Auguste ". Parts of this correspondence, together with a small laboratory outfit, including a special test-tube and 500 grammes of heroin, were discovered in Coateval's room at 2, square de l'Aveyron.

The United States Government reports that on November 17th, 1937, Lanlo was searched by a Customs guard at the pier at New York at which the vessel was docked and five packets of heroin were found concealed under an elastic girdle he was wearing. Lanlo stated that the packages had been given him by a passenger on the vessel with instructions to deliver them to a person who would meet him at the corner of 48th Street and 9th Avenue, New York. He was permitted to stand at this corner for a reasonable period, but, no one approaching him, he was taken back on board the ship and his quarters searched. Five additional packages of heroin were found concealed underneath the bottom panel in a wall locker in a stateroom under Lanlo's care. The French Government states that enquiries are at present being made with a view to identifying the person who gave the heroin to Lanlo, and that the wrapping of the packages containing the heroin is identical with that of the packages found in the possession of Solliez.?
