On September 8, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of four 5-gallon 
cans and one 10-gallon can of cream at Pittsburgh, Pa., alleging that the 
article had shipped in interstate commerce, on or about August 28, 29, 31, 
and September 1, 1934, in various shipments by John Layton, Morgantown, W. 
Va.; J. O. Hotsenpiller, Moatsville, W. Va.; M. Oscar Cramer, Woodsboro, 
Md.; G. W. Smearman, Mount Savage, Md.; and C. G. Linthicum, Boyds, Md.; 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On September 11, 1934, the product being spoiled and unfit for human con- 
sumption, and the consignee the Fairmont Creamery Co., Pittsburgh, Pa., 
having requested its immediate destruction, judgments were entered ordering 
that it be destroyed.
