On June 12, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Mississippi filed libels against 51 cases of candy at Corinth, Miss.; 50 cases at 
New Albany, Miss.; and 25 cases at Ripley, Miss., alleging that the article had 
been shipped in interstate commerce by the Oliver-Finnie Co. from Memphis, 
Tenn., within the period from on or about April 29 to on or about May 4, 
1940; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a filthy substance unfit for food; arid in that it had been prepared, packed, 
or held under insanitary conditions whereby it might have become contaminated 
with filth.    It was labeled in part: "SOver TSIoon Candies."
On August 17, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemna- 
tion were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
