On December 8, 1922, the United States attorney for the District of 
Colorado, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the 
seizure and condemnation of 11 cases of eggs, consigned by J. W. Williams, 
Atwood, Kans., remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Denver, 
Colo., alleging that the article had been shipped from Atwood, Kans., on or 
about November 22, 1922, and transported from the State of Kansas into the 
State of Colorado, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act.    The article was labeled in part: " From Williams Atwood, Ks,"
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance, to 
wit, decomposed and rotten eggs.
On January 26, 1923, R. C. Ellis and H. Deutsch, a copartnership, trading 
as the Bllis-Deutsch Produce Co., Denver, Colo., having theretofore appeared 
as claimant for the property and consented to the entry of a judgment, and 
having executed a good and sufficient bond in conformity with section 10 of 
the act, and the good portion of the product having been released to the said 
claimant and the bad portion destroyed, it was adjudged by the court that 
the bad portion of the said article was subject to condemnation and for- 
feiture and that the disposition theretofore made be ratified and confirmed 
and that the claimant pay the costs of the proceedings.
