On April 2 and May 5 and 14, 1941, the United States attorneys for the 
Southern District of New York and the District of New Jersey filed libels 
against 12 boxes of turkeys at New York, N. Y., and 359 cases of the same 
product at Jersey City, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about December 9, 13, and 14, 1940, from Denison, Tex., by the Denison Poultry 
& Egg Co.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it was in whole or 
in part the product of diseased animals, and that a portion was adulterated 
further in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed substance.
On May 22 and June 27, 1941, the Denison Poultry & Egg Co., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgments of condemnation were 
entered, and it was ordered that the product be released to the claimant under 
bond conditioned that the good portion be separated from the unfit and that 
the latter be destroyed.
