16140. Adulteration of canned corn. IT. S. v. 206 Cans of Canned Corn. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (P. & D. No. 23113. I. S. No. 013826. S. No. 1205.) On September 28, 1928, the United States attorney for the Northern 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 206 cans of canned corn, remaining in the original unbroken packages at Akron, Ohio, alleging that the article has been shipped from the Morgan Packing Co., Columbus, Ind., on or about August 24, 1928, and trans- ported from the State of Indiana into the State of Ohio, and charging adulter- ation in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: " Betsy Ross Brand Country Gentleman Corn." It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance. On November 15, 1928, 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. ARTHUR M. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture.
