1208. Adulteration of flour.   IT. S. v. 23, 40, and 95 Bags of Flour.   Default decree
of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 2516.    Sample Nos. 28812-E, 
28813-E, 28814-E.)
On August 14,1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of North 
Carolina filed a libel against 23 98-pound bags and 135 48-pound bags of flour at 
Henderson, N. C, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about June 12, 1940, by J. I. Triplett from Woodstock, Va.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy substance. The article was labeled in part: "J. I. Triplett's Everready Best 
Patent Flour."
On October 29, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed after 30 days unless 
taken down under bond by the owner. Subsequently the Henderson Grocery Co. 
appeared as claimant and took the product down under bond to be denatured.
