On October 26, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Georgia filed a libel against 2,010 cans, each can containing 4 ounces, of ground 
mace at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about September 5, 1942, by the New Orleans Import Co., Ltd., 
from New Orleans, La.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted 
in whole or in part of a filthy substance. The article was labeled in part: (Can) 
"Rex Spices   *¦   *   *   Finest Ground- Mace."
On November 6, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
