9429. Adulteration of coal-tar color.     TI. S.     *     *      *     v. One Pound  Can  of
Coal-Tar Color. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and 
destruction.     (F. & D. No. 14644.     I. S. No. 3685-t.     S. No. C-2874.)
On March 18, 1921, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, 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 one pound can of coal-tar color, at Chicago, Ill., alleging that 
the article had been shipped by the W. B. Wood Mfg. Co., St. Louis, Mo., on 
March 2, 192V and transported from the State of Missouri into the State of 
Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason 
that other substances, to wit, sodium chlorid and sodium sulphate, had been 
mixed and packed with, and substituted wholly or in part for, the said article,
and for the further reason that the article contained an added poisonous and 
deleterious ingredient, to wit, arsenic, which might render the said article 
injurious to health.
On May 20, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that 
the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY; 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
