On May 21, 1921, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and con??
demnation of 521 bags of evaporated apple chop, at Chicago, 111., alleging that the?
article had been shipped by the J. S. Dawes Sons Co., Hightstown, N. J., March?
15 and 28, 1919, respectively, and transported from the State of New Jersey?
into the State of Illinois, 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 vegetable substance, for the further reason that?
it consisted in part of a decomposed vegetable substance, and for the further?
reason that it consisted in part of a putrid vegetable substance.
On November 30, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
