On August 22, 1928, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed ir the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel' praying seizure 
and condemnation of 2 barrels and 3 crates of fowls, and 2 barrels of chickens 
at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Armour 
Creameries, from Clinton, Mo., August 1, 1928, and transported from the State 
of Missouri into the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation 
of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance, and in that 
it was the product of a diseased animal.   t
On March 19, 1929, no claimant haying appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
