3372. Adulteration of prunes.    U. S. v. 32 Boxes of Prunes.    Default decree of •
condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 6769.    Sample No. 85768-E.)
On January 29, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington filed a libel against 32 25-pound boxes of prunes at Tacoma, Wash., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
August 13, 1941, by H, S. Gile & Co. from Roseburg, Oreg.; 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: "Beaver Brand Evaporated   *    *    *   Prunes."
On April 11, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
