On June 19, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 7 cartons, each containing 50 pounds, of pecan meats, 
at Chicago, Ill. alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce within the period from on or about April 29 to on or about May 13, 1942, 
by the Finklea Pecan Co. from Mobile, Ala.; and charging that it was adulter- 
ated 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 con-, 
taminated with filth. 
On October 27, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
