On November 30, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Virginia filed a libel against twenty-six 5-pound boxes of candy at Norfolk, 
Va., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about September 23, 1940, by Brookwood Candies, Inc., from Atlanta, Ga.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy substance, and in that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions 
whereby it might have become contaminated with filth. It was labeled in part: 
"Lamar Chocolate Covered Peppermints [or "Maple Cream Walnuts"]."
On December 26, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
