No. 11140.    I. S. No. 2047-r.    S. No. W-474.)
On or about August 29, 1919, the United States attorney for the Western?
District of Washington, 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 120 cases of raisins, remaining in the original?
unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped?
by Rosenberg Bros. & Co., San Francisco, Calif., on or about May 21, 1919,?
and transported from the State of California into the State of Washington, and?
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act,
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that sand?
had been mixed and packed with it so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect?
its quality and strength, and for the further reason that it consisted wholly or?
in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On July 20, 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.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
