22120. Adulteration of candy. TJ. S. y. 9 Pounds and 21 Boxes of Candy. 
Default decrees of condemnation. (F. & D. nos. 31773, 31791. Sam- 
ple nos. 54469-A, 54470-A.)
These cases involved shipments of candy which contained alcohol.
On December 22 and December 28, 1933, the United States attorney for the 
District of Columbia, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, holding a district 
court, libels praying seizure and condemnation of 9 pounds and 21 boxes of 
candy at Washington, D.C., alleging that the article had been shipped from 
Baltimore, Md., into the District of Columbia; that a portion had been shipped 
under the name of M. Fineblum on or about November 21, 1933, that a 
portion had been shipped under the name of the M. Fineblum Candy & 
Tobacco Co., on or about December 2, 1933, and that it was adulterated in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part " Mile 
Modiste Conflseur Rue St. Honore, Paris."
It was alleged in the libels that the article was adulterated under the 
provisions of the act relating to confectionery in that it contained spirituous 
liquor, namely, alcohol.
On March 22, 1934, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments 
of condemnation were entered and it was ordered by the court that the 
product be disposed of by the United States marshal in such maner as would 
not violate the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
