condemnation and destruction.     (F. D.  C. No. 8648.    Sample No. 5826—F.)
On October 28, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Tennessee filed a libel against 25 cases of raisins at Memphis, Tenn., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about February 
26, 1942, by Jack Gomperts & Co..of San Francisco, Calif., from Dinuba, Calif.; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of 
a filthy substance, beetles, larvae, and insect fragments. The article was labeled 
in part: "Besco Brand Midget Thompson Seedless Raisins Packed for Bessire 
& Co., Memphis, Tenn."
On November 30, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
