On August 28, 1914, the United States attorney for the District of Connecticut,?
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 3 cases,?
each containing 12 bottles of liqueur, remaining unsold in the original unbroken?
packages at Bridgeport, Conn., alleging that the product had been shipped, on or?
about August 11, 1914, by Puziello, Luccaro & Co., Brooklyn, N. Y., and transported?
from the State of New York into the State of Connecticut, and charging misbranding?
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The cases were labeled: "Anice Fino?
Puziello, Luccaro & Co., Brooklyn, N. Y. Fragile.?This case contains 12 bottles.''?
The bottles were labeled: "Contents 28 ounces?Anice Fino Per Acqua?Anice?

(Blown in bottle) "Distilleria & Fabricade Liquore Puziello Luccaro & Co."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that the labels?
on the retail packages purported the product to be of foreign [origin] and indicated?
that it was produced in Naples, when, in truth and in fact,"the product was not of?
foreign origin.

consenting to a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and?
it was ordered by the court that the product should be redelivered by the United?
States marshal to said claimant upon payment of all the costs of the proceedings?
and the execution of bond in the sum of $300, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
