22161. Adulteration of  tullibees.     U.   S.  v.  4  Boxes,  et   al.,  of Tullibees.
Default   decrees   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and   destruction.
(F. & D. nos. 32347, 32348.    Sample nos. 65315-A to 65318-A, incl.)
These cases involved interstate shipments of tullibees which were infested 
with worms.
On January 19, 1934, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed hi the 
district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 42 boxes of tullibees 
at Cliicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce, on or about January 13, 1934, in various lots, by George Neumiller, 
John Neumiller, and Roy Brewster from Williams, Minn., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libels that the article was adulterated to that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On March 9, 1934, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments 
of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
