On August 11, 1915, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Michigan, 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 1,000 five-gallon cans of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the?
original unbroken packages at Saginaw, Mich., alleging that the article had?
been shipped on June 28, 1915, by Houghland Brothers Canning Co., Underwood.?
Ind., and transported from the State of Indiana into the State of Michigan, 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?
was a partly decomposed vegetable product, although giving no visible evidence?
of active spoilage when opened.
On November 19, 1915, 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.
