BKans. Product adjudged adulterated. Released under bond 
for separation and destruction of unfit portion. (F. & D. no. 31285. 
Sample  no.  59102-A.)
This case involved a shipment of pinto beans which were in part insect- 
infested.
On October 26, 1933, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 600 bags of dried 
pinto beans at St. Louis, Mo,, alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce, on or about October 12, 1933, by the Denver Elevator 
Co., from Denver, Colo., 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 wholly or in part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On February 24, 1934, Sinsheimer & Co., claimant, having admitted the ma- 
terial allegations of the libel, a decree was entered finding the product adul- 
terated and ordering its release to the claimant upon payment of costs and 
the execution of a bond in the sum of $3,000, conditioned that the adulterated 
portion be separated from the remainder and destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
