Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 12 10-gallon cans of 
cream at Pittsburgh, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 6, 1937, in various lots from Phillipi, W. Va., by 
Kermit Haller; from Berkeley Springs, W. Va., by R. S. Unger; from Romney, 
W. Va., by B. M. Grim; from Charles Town, W. Va., by M. K. Bowers; from 
Strasburg, Va., by Walter Johnson; from Weston, W. Va., by Magnus C. White; 
and from EUenboro, W. Va., by E. Paige Hickman, 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, putrid, or decomposed animal substance.
On August 7, 1937, the consignee having consented to the entry of a decree, the 
product was ordered destroyed immediately in view of its perishable nature.
