5)848. Adulteration of coal-tar color. U. S. * * * v. 1 Pound Can of 
Coal-Tar Color. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and 
destruction.     (F. & D. No. 14645.     J. S. No. 3684-t.    S. No. C-2875.)
On March 25, 1921, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Kentucky, 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 pound can of coal-tar color, remaining unsold in the 
original package at Central City, Ky., consigned by the W. B. Wood Mfg. Co., 
St. Louis, Mo., March 1, 1921, alleging that the article had been shipped from 
St. Louis, Mo., and transported from the State of Missouri into the State of 
Kentucky, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that sodium 
chlorid had been mixed and packed with, and substituted wholly or in part for, 
the said article, and for the further reason that it contained an added poi- 
sonous or deleterious ingredient, to wit, arsenic, which might render the said 
article injurious to health.
On June 28, 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.
