15650-r.    S. No. E-1205.)
On January 18, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Supreme Court 
of said District, holding a District court, libels for the seizure and condemnation 
of 9 cases and 10 cases, each containing approximately 40 pounds of frozen eggs, 
at Washington, D. C, alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
September 9, and September 19, 1918, by Strieker Bros., Baltimore, Md., and 
transported from the State of Maryland into the District of Columbia, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal and 
vegetable substance.
On April 17, 1919, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments 
of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and It was ordered by the court 
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
E. D. BALL, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
