On October 13, 1921, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
New York, 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 542 sacks containing fava beans, remaining unsold in the?
original unbroken packages at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging that the article had?
been shipped on or about September 7, 1921, by Adolf Koshland, San Francisco,?
Calif., consigned to himself at New York, N. Y., and transported from the?
State of California into the State of New York, 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 whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable?
substance, the product being largely weevil or larva? infested.
On December 28, 1921, Nathan Yorfalem and Joseph Diamand, trading under?
the name of Yohalem and Diamand, New York, N. Y., having admitted the?
truth of the allegations of the libel and consented to the entry of a decree,?
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by?
the court that the product might be released to said claimants, upon payment of?
the costs of the proceedings and the execution of bond in the sum of $6,000, m?
conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the article be?
sorted by the claimants under the supervision of this department.
