District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 4 cases, each containing 30 dozen, of eggs, remaining unsold in?
the original unbroken packages at Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article?
had been shipped, on or about September 2, 1915, and transported from the?
State of Kansas into the State of Missouri, and charging adulteration in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted, in whole of in part, of a filthy, putrid, and decomposed animal?
substance.
On October 21, 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.
