19537. Adulteration of tuUibees.    U. S. v. 247 Boxes of TuUibees.    Default
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. & D. No.
27358. I. S. No. 39391.    S. No. 5547.)
Samples of tuUibees from the shipment herein described having been found 
to contain cysts, indicating infestation by parasitic worms, the Secretary of 
Agriculture reported the matter to the United States attorney for the Western 
District of New York.
On December 11, 1931, the United States attorney filed in the District Court 
of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 247 boxes of the said tuUibees, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Buffalo, N. Y., consigned by Charles E. Griggs, Chicago, Ill., alleg- 
ing that the article had been shipped on June 11, 1931, from Chicago, Ill., and 
had been transported from the State of Illinois 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 consisted, 
wholly or in part, of a filthy animal substance, and for the further reason that 
it was a portion of an animal unfit for food.
On February 12, 1932, 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.
