On July 11, 1919, the thiited States attorney for the Eastern District of Mis- 
souri, 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 condemna- 
tion of 7 cases of shell eggs, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages 
at St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about July 9, 
1919, by Hatchett Bros., Clinton, Ark., and transported from the State of 
Arkansas into the State of Missouri, and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason thai it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On May 1, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that 
the product be destroyed by Ihe United States marshal.
