9937. Adulteration of coal-tar color.     U. S.     *      *      *     v.  3 Pounds of Coal-
Tar Color. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and de- 
struction.     (F. & D. No. 14614.    I. S. Nos. 3709-t, 3710-t.    S. No. E-3174.)
On March 14, 1921, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
New York, 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 3 pounds of coal-tar color, remaining unsold in the original un- 
broken packages at Brooklyn, N. Y., 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 New York, and had been received in the Borough of 
Brooklyn, N. Y., on or about February 25, 1921, 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 and sodium sulphate had been mixed and packed with, and substituted 
wholly or in part for, the said article. Adulteration was alleged for the 
further reason that the article contained an added poisonous or deleterious 
ingredient, arsenic, which might render it injurious to health.
On June 10, 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.
