On December 27, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Virginia filed libels against 9 tins of candy atParksley, Va.and 12 tins of candy 
at Onley, Va., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about November 29 and December 5, 1940, by the Wm. T. Kearney Co. from 
Baltimore, Md.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole 
or in part of a filthy substance, and had been prepared under insanitary condi- 
tions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth. It was labeled in
