district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of six cans of cream

commerce, on or about November 21 and 22, 1934, in various shipments by 
H. L. Suber, Jefferson, Tex.; Stewart Meek, West Mineral, Kans.; Lewis 
Hadachen, Washington, Kans.; H. F. Williams, Madison, Kans.; J. A. Williams, 
Kansas, Okla.; Janie Gibson, Portia, Ark.; and charging adulteration in viola-

putrid, filthy, and decomposed.
On December 1, 1934, the product being spoiled and unfit for human con- 
sumption, and the consignee, the Meriden Creamery Co., Kansas City, Mo., 
having consented to its destruction, judgment was entered ordering that it be 
destroyed.
