On October 27, 1915, the United States attorney for the Northern District?
of Illinois, 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 9 cases, each containing 60 cans, of tomato pulp, remain??
ing unsold in the original unbroken packages at Chicago, 111., alleging that the?
article had been shipped on September 24, 1915, and transported from the State?
of New York into the State of Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that when?
it was so shipped as aforesaid it consisted in part of a filthy vegetable sub??
stance, for the further reason that it consisted in part of a decomposed vege??
table substance, and for the further reason that it consisted in part of a?
putrid vegetable substance.
On January 14, 1916, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. F. MABVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
