(F. & D. No. 21359.    I. S. No. 13917-x.    S. No. C-5248.)
On October 15, 1926, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and 
condemnation of 6 cases of eggs, remaining in the original packages at Cincin- 
nati, Ohio, consigned October 12, 1926, by Tarter Bros. & Trimble Co., Norfleet, 
Ky., alleging that the article had been shipped from Norfleet, Ky., in inter- 
state commerce into the State of Ohio, and charging adulteration in violation 
of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: " From Tarter 
Bros. &' Trimble Norfleet, Ky."
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 animal 
substance.
On or about October 28, 1926, Tarter Bros. & Trimble, claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a 
decree,  judgment  of condemnation and  forfeiture was entered,  and it was
!
ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon 
payment of the costs of the proceedings and execution of a bond in the sum of 
$100, conditioned in part that t be salvaged under the supervision of this 
department.
