13532. Adulteration of blueberries.     V. S. v. O Grates of Blueberries.    De 
fault decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. &
D. No. 20374.    I. S. No. 5418-x.    S. No. E-5477.)
On August 26, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of Massachu- 
setts, 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 9 crates of blueberries, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Boston, Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped by 
Foster D. James, from Rockland, Me., August 19, 1925, and transported from 
the State of Maine into the State of Massachusetts, 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, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On October 22, 1925, 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.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
