On March 11 and 19, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois filed libels against 20 barrels of poultry at Chicago, Ill., 
alleging that the article had been shipped on February 25 and March 7, 1941, 
from Monroe City, Mo., by the Henderson Produce Co.; and charging that it 
was adulterated in that it was the product of diseased animals, and that a portion 
was adulterated further in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed 
substance.
On April 9, 1941, the claimant for the 3 barrels of turkeys and the 8 barrels 
of fowl, having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the said turkeys and fowl were ordered destroyed. On May

admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a
decree, judgment of condemnation was entered, and the product was ordered 
released under bond conditioned that it be eviscerated and examined under the 
supervision of the Food and Drug Administration, and that it not be sold or 
disposed of in violation of the law.
