This product was in interstate commerce when examined and was found to 
be in part dirty and decomposed at that time.
On or about April 2, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois filed a libel against 300 bag's, each containing 120 pounds, 
of shelled peanuts at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about March 5, 1940, by the DaWson Cotton 
Oil Co. from Dawson, Ga.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it 
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy and decomposed substance.
On April 11, 1940, the General Candy Corporation having appeared as claim- 
ant and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that 
it should not be disposed of in violation of the law.
