On January 25 and 31, 1922, respectively, the United States attorney for the 
Eastern District of Missouri, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agricul- 
ture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district libels for 
the seizure and condemnation of one drum and 100 pounds of coriander seed, 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at St. Louis, Mo., in the 
possession of the David G. Evans Coffee Co., alleging that the article had been 
shipped from National Stock Yards, Ill., on or about January 12 and 23, 1922,
respectively, and transported from the State of Illinois into the State of Mis- 
souri, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The 
article was labeled in part, respectively: "100 Lbs. Net Ground Coriander 
Seed "; and " 100 Lbs. Net Pure Ground Coriander Seed from David G. Evans 
Coffee Co., St. Louis, Mo."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libels for the reason 
that sand had been mixed and packed with and substituted in part for the said 
article.
On April 27, 1922^, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments 
of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
