On December 17, 1914, the United States attorney for the Southern District?
of New York, 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 1 barrel, containing about 200 pounds of desiccated egg prod??
uct, remaining unsold in the original unbroken package at New York, N. Y.,?
alleging that the product had been shipped on or about December 1, 1914, and?
transported from the State of Texas into the State of New York, and charging?
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration was alleged in the libel for the reason that the aiticle of food?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance, to wit,?
desiccated eggs.
On January 14, 1915, 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.
