decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no. 36595.    Sample 
no. 30581-B.)
Examination of the mixed nuts involved in this case showed the Brazil nuts 
to be in large part moldy and decomposed.
On November 6, 1935, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of seven bags of 
mixed nuts at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce by Sussman Wormser & Co., from San Francisco, Calif., 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The arti- 
cle was labeled in part: "S & W Mixed Nuts, Packed by Sussman Wormser 
& Co., San Francisco."
The article was alleged to be adulterated In that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On January 14, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
