9327. Adulteration of coal-tar color, U. S. * * * v. If Pounds of Coal-Tar Color * * *. 
Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 14064. 
I. S. No. 8288-t.   S.No. E-3201.)
On March 19, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, acting 
upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United 
States for said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 1| pounds of coal- 
tar color, consigned on or about February 28, 1921, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article had been shipped by the W. B. 
Wood Mfg. Co., St. Louis, Mo., and transported from the State of Missouri into the 
State of Maryland, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: (Can) "1 lb. Net W. B. Wood Mfg. Co., St. Louis, 
Mo.    Complies with all requirements quality—color Number 810 Contents Yellow."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that sodium chlorid 
and sodium sulphate had been mixed and packed with and substituted wholly or in 
part for the article, and for the further reason that said article contained an added 
poisonous or deleterious ingredient, arsenic, which might render it injurious to health.
On April 21, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of con- 
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product 
be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
