This case involved huckleberries that were infested with maggots.
On July 22, 1936, 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 a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 15 crates of huckle- 
berries at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about July 20, 1936, by John F. Urban, from Mahanoy 
City, Pa., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
In part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On August 6, 1936, no claimant appearing, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
