On February 25, 1942, the United States attorney for the Middle District of 
Tennessee filed a libel against 125 cheeses at Nashville, Tenn., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about January 22,1942, by 
the Boaz Creamery from Bpaz, Ala.; and charging that It was adulterated in 
that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance and was otherwise 
t unfit for food, and in that it had been prepared under insanitary conditions 
whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On April 22, 1942, the Shefiford Cbeese Co., of New York, N. Y., trading at 
Nashville, Tenn., filed a claim and answer neither denying nor admitting the 
allegations of the libel as to the filth contained in the article; but demanding 
strict proof and praying dismissal of the libel.. On October 15, 1942, the case 
came on for hearing before the court and evidence was presented on behalf 
of the Government, but no evidence was presented by or on: behalf of the claimant. 
On December 1,1942, the court made findings of fact sustaining the allegations 
of the libel and ordering the product condemned and released under bond con- 
ditioned that It be denatured and disposed of as hog feed.
