330. Adulteration of whisky.    U. S. v. 65 Cases of Bourbon Whisky.    Default
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 1084. 
.,,*     Sample Nos. 84361-D, 84362-D, 84363-D.)
On November 25, 1939, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Missouri filed a libel against 65 cases of whisky at St. Louis, Mo., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about December 
20, 1938, by Sunrise Liquor, Inc., from Chicago, Ill.; and charging that it was 
adulterated. It was labeled in part: "Clover Valley * * * Kentucky 
Straight Bourbon Whiskey Distilled by Tom Moore Distillery Co. Bardstown 
*    *    *   Kentucky."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance containing methyl alcohol 
and excessive quantities of aldehydes had been substituted wholly or in part 
for whisky, and in that said substance had been added to the article or mixed 
or packed therewith so as to reduce its quality or strength.
On January 18, 1940, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemnation 
and forfeiture was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
