3700. Adulteration of shell eggs. U. S. v. 19 Cases, More or Less, of Shell Eggs. Default?
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 5877. I. S. No.?
28953-h.    S. No. C-76.)
On August 21, 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 19 cases, more or less, each case containing 30 dozen?
shell eggs, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Chicago,?
III., alleging that the product had been shipped on August 13, 1914, and trans??
ported from the State of Missouri into the State of Illinois, and charging?
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration was alleged in the libel for the reason that the product afore??
said, when it was shipped as aforesaid, consisted wholly of a filthy animal sub??
stance ; for the further reason that it consisted in part of a filthy animal?
substance; for the further reason that it consisted wholly of a decomposed?
animal substance; for the further reason that it consisted in part of a de??
composed animal substance; for the further reason that it consisted wholly of?
a putrid animal substance; and for the further reason that it consisted in?
part of a putrid animal substance.
On November 21,1914, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
