On November 4, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland,?
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 50 bags of dried lima beans, remaining in the original unbroken packages?
at Baltimore, Md., consigned on or about October 1, 1921, alleging that the?
article had been shipped by Morris Gross, Norfolk, Va., and transported from?
the State of Virginia into the State of Maryland, and charging adulteration in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On December 8,-1921; no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
