Examination of these products showed that they contained added water.
On October 24, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed libels against 32 boxes of ducks and 20 barrels of chickens at 
Chicago, Ill., alleging that the products had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about December 24, 1938, by Iowa Produce Co. from Dubuque, Iowa; and 
charging adulteration in that water had been substituted wholly or in part 
for the articles and had been added thereto so as to increase the bulk or weight 
of said articles.
On December 6 and 12, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgments of con- 
demnation were entered and the products were ordered destroyed.
