On April 10,1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of South 
Carolina filed a libel against 51 boxes of assorted candy and 19 boxes of assorted 
candy bars at Columbia, S. C, alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about February 26 and March 2 and 23, 1942, by Empire 
State Candy Co. from Athens, Ga.; and charging that it was adulterated in that 
it consisted in whole 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. A portion of the article was labeled in part: (19 boxes) "Jackpot 
Assortment."
On May 15, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed. Subsequently the product was 
disposed of by feeding to hogs.
