I. S. No. 9621-h.    S. No. C-37.)
On May 13, 1914, 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 146 cases of sugar corn, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Chicago, III., alleging that the product had been shipped?
on January 14, 1914, and transported in interstate commerce from the State?
of Wisconsin 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 in part of a filthy vegetable substance ; for the further reason that?
it consisted wholly of a filthy vegetable substance; for the further reason that?
it consisted in part of a decomposed vegetable substance; for the further reason?
that it consisted wholly of a decomposed vegetable substance; for the further?
reason that it consisted in part of a putrid vegetable substance; and for the?
final reason that it consisted wholly of a putrid vegetable substance.
On September 21, 1914, no claimant having- appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
