454. Adulteration of dressed poultry.    TJ. S. v. 4 Barrels of Dressed Fowls and
9 Barrels of Dressed Chickens. Default decree of condemnation, for- 
feiture, and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 1254.    Sample Nos. 85734-D, 85735-D.)
On December 29, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York filed a libel against 13 barrels of dressed poultry at New York, 
N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about December 6, 1939, by E. G. Morse from Mason City, Iowa; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decom- 
posed substance and in that it was in whole or in part the product of diseased 
animals.
On January 20, 1940, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemna- 
tion and forfeiture was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
