3084.?Adulteration of mushrooms.   TJ. S. v. 3 Bales Dried Mushrooms.   Default decree of
condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.   (F. & D. No. 5187.   S. No. 1786.)
On April 30, 1913, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Illinois,?
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 bales of?
dried mushrooms, 2 of said bales weighing 403 pounds and 1 bale weighing 220 pounds,?
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and in possession of The North??
western Storage Warehouse, Chicago, 111., alleging that the product had been shipped?
by K. Marks &-Co., New York, N. Y., on November 8, 1912, and transported from the?
State of New York into the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation of?
the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that it consisted?
wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal and vegetable substance.
On June 17, 1913, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of con??
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product?
should be destroyed by fire by the United States marshal.
B. T. GALLOWAY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
