On May 25, 1920, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Geor??
gia, 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 con??
demnation of 40 cases of ice cream cones, remaining in the original unbroken?
packages at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about?
March 17, 1920, and transported from the State of South Carolina into the?
State of Georgia, 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 part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance, the?
product containing musty, rancid, and worm-eaten cones, also weevils and mold.
On June 30, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
B. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
