District Court, S.D. Ohio

1Opinion of the Court
SATER, District Judge.
The defendant delivered at Mt. Gilead, Ohio, and shipped from that place to one Henson (whose real name is Morgan), residing at Washington, D. C., a bottle of medicine containing cocaine. The bottle bore no label or brand indicating the presence of that drug in the medicine. The jury having found him guilty of violating the pure food and drugs act of June 30, 1906, 34 Stat. 768, c. 3915 _(U. S. Comp. St. Supp. 1909, p. 1187), he moves to set-aside the verdict on the ground that he was engaged in intrastate, and not in interstate, commerce.
