On December 15, 1920, the United States attorney for the District of New?
Jersey, 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 condemna??
tion of 289 cases, containing 578 cans, of liquid whole eggs, at Jersey City, N. J.,?
alleging that the article had been shipped by the Parsons Poultry & Egg Co.,?
Parsons, Kans., on or about June 22, 1920, and transported from the State of?
Kansas into the State of New Jersey, and charging adulteration in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) " National?
Poultry and Egg Co. Atchison, Kansas, Packers. Pure Sweet Wholesome?
Eggs    *    *    * ."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub??
stance.
On December 20, 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.
