On March 20, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland 
filed a libel against 1 barrel and 5 cartons of black walnut kernels at Baltimore, 
Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
February 27, 1943, by M. G. Dingus, from Dungannon, Va.; and charging that it 
was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of filthy substances, rodent 
hairs and also America col, an organism which indicates pollution of 
fecal origin.
On November 2, 1943, M. G. Dingus, claimant, having admitted the allegations 
of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered 
released under bond, conditioned that it should not be sold or disposed of until 
it had been brought into compliance with the law under the supervision of the 
Food & Drug Administration.
