On August 31, 1915, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona,?
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 806 sacks of horse beans, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages?
at Tucson, Ariz., alleging that the article had been shipped, on or about August?
29, 1915, and was being transported from the State of California into the State?
of New York, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal [vegetable] substance,?
that said horse beans were infested with worms and worm excrement, and?
unfit for consumption as food, and said horse beans were, in part, so infested?
with worms and vermin, and so consisted in such part of filthy, decomposed, and?
putrid animal [vegetable] substance.
On September 80, 1915, J. K. Armsby Co. and Glancer Bros., claimants, having?
filed their claim to the property, but-offering no evidence, and the case hav??
ing been submitted to the court for decision, judgment of condemnation and?
forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product?
should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
