On January 9, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed a libel against 139% cartons, each containing 24 1-pound packages, of candy 
at Newark, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about November 6 and 28,1941, by the Boston Candy Co. from Boston, Mass.; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of 
a filthy substance. The article was labeled in part: (Package) "Branford Hand 
Dipped Chocolates   *   *   *    Servex Sales Corp. Distributors, Newark, N. J."
On August 3,1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was
