On August 11, 1937, the United States attorney for the Western 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 6 crates of huckle- 
berries at Buffalo, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 5, 1937, in various shipments by Nathan Bogett, 
Howard Thompson, N. L. Yousan, and T. L. Thompson, from Faison, N. C. 
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 vegetable substance.
On September 13, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
