On April 14, 1914, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, acting?
upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United?
States for said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 50 cases of tomato?
pulp, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Hoboken, N. J., alleging?
that the product had been shipped on or about April 4, 1914, and transported from?
the State of Maryland into the State of New Jersey, and charging adulteration in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product was labeled: "Fox Creek Brand?
Tomato Pulp?Made from Tomatoes and Tomato Trimmings?Contents 10 oz. Packed?
by J. Frank Hearn."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that it consisted?
in part and in whole of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance, to wit>?
tomatoes.
On May 14, 1914, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of con??
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product?
should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
