On March 3 and 6, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Ohio filed libels against a total of 188 boxes of candy at Cincinnati, Ohio, al- 
leging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the
period from on or about October 8, 1940, to on or about February 10, 1941, by 
the Klotz Confection Co. from Louisville, Ky.; and charging that it was adul- 
terated. The article was variously labeled: "24 Bars Klotz's 5 Cents Chocolate 
Turtle"; "24 Bars Klotz 5 Cents Devlish Good"; "24 Bars Klotz's 5 Cents Nutty 
Fudge"; "Nutty Brittle"; "72% Oz. Bars Peanut Brittle."

filthy substance; and in that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions 
whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
