On January 20 and 23, 1926, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois, acting upon reports by the "Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the District Court of the United States for said district libels praying the 
seizure and condemnation of 1,341 cans of frozen whole eggs and 1,721 cans of 
frozen whole eggs, remaining in the original unbroken packages at Chicago Ill., 
alleging that the article had been shipped by R. W. Winsler, from Moravia, 
Iowa, between the dates of May 15 and October 28, 1925, and transported 
from the State of Iowa into the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration 
in violation of the food and drugs act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libels for the 
reason that it consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal 
substance.

action and R. W. Winsler, Moravia, Iowa, claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libels and having consented to the entry of a decree, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be released to the said. claimant upon payment of the 
costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000, in 
conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that it be salvaged 
under the supervision of this department and the bad portion denatured.
