On August '24, 1943, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York filed a libel against 265 boxes of pitted prunes at New York, N. Y., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
April 29, 1943, by the H. A. Johnson Company, Inc., from Boston, Mass.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of filthy 
substances by reason of the presence of larvae, pupae, moths, insect excreta, and 
webbing. The article was labeled' in part: "Glenwood Brand Medium Pitted 
Prunes   Guggenhime & Company   San Francisco Calif., U. S. A."

tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
