On August 28, 1928, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the; District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure 
and condemnation of 2 barrels of frozen poultry, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by the Falls City Creamery Co., from Falls City, Nebr., on or about August 
3, 1928, and had been transported from the State of Nebraska into the State 
of New York, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in part of a portion of an animal unfit for food, and in that it was the 
product of a diseased animal.
On September 13, 1928, 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.
