12407.    Inv.  No.  11079.    S.  No.  E-2113.)
On May 10, 1920, the United States attorney for the District of New Hamp- 
shire, 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 38,400 pounds of oats, at Manchester, N. H., alleging that the
article had been shipped by the Bartlett Frazier Co., Indiana Harbor, Ind., on 
or about December 16, 1919, and transported from the State of Indiana into the 
State of New Hampshire, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason 
that the said article contained an added poisonous or deleterious ingredient, 
to wit, castor [castor bean pomace], which might render it injurious to health.
On January 80, 1921, 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 sold by the United States marshal upon condition that it 
should not be used except for seed purposes.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
