?689. Adulteration "of shell eggs. U. S. v. 212 Cases, More or Less, o? Shell Eggs. Default?
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 5848. I. S. No.?
9683-h.    S. No. C-69.)
On August 7, 1914, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure?
and condemnation of 212 cases, each containing 30 dozen shell eggs, remaining?
unsold in the original unbroken packages at Chicago, 111., alleging that the?
product had been shipped on August 1, 1914, and transported from the State?
of Tennessee into the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that when?
it was so shipped as aforesaid it consisted wholly of a filthy animal substance;?
for the further reason that it consisted in part of a filthy animal substance;?
for the further reason that it consisted wholly of a decomposed animal sub??
stance; for the further reason that it consisted in part of a decomposed animal?
substance; for the further reason that it consisted wholly of a putrid animal?
substance; and for the further reason that it consisted in part of a putrid?
animal substance.
On January 5, 1915, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
