14150. Adulteration of Brazil nuts. U. S. v. 22 Sacks of Brazil Nuts. Con- 
sent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released 
under bond.     (F. & D. No. 20665.    I. S. No.  1395-x.     S. No. 0-4886.);
On or about November 27, 1925, the United States attorney for the .'District:1 of 
Indiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and 
condemnation of 22 sacks of Brazil nuts, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Fort Wayne, Ind., alleging that the article had been shipped by the 
J. B. Inderrieden Co., Chicago, Ill., October 16, 1925, and transported from the 
State of Illinois into the State of Indiana, 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 February 11, 1926, the J. B. Inderrieden Co., Chicago, Ill., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered. The claimant paid the 
costs of the proceedings and petitioned for release of the product and tendered 
bond, in conformity with section 10 of the act, and it was ordered by the court 
that the bond be approved and the product delivered to the said claimant to 
be sorted under the supervision of this department and the decomposed portion 
destroyed.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
