Colorado, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 35 sacks of rabbits at 
Denver, Colo., consigned by the Robertson Produce Co., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 17 and 20, 1938, 
from Portales, N. Mex., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.

entry of decrees, judgments of condemnation were entered and the product was 
ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
