On July 1, 1916, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Pennsylvania, 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 barrel of beef ribs, containing 290 pounds, consigned by?
L. 0. Thayer, Boston, Mass., and remaining unsold in the original unbroken?
packages at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped on or?
about June 24, 1916, and transported from the State of Massachusetts into?
the State of Pennsylvania, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food?
and Drugs Act.
It was charged in substance in the libel that the article was adulterated for?
the reason that it consisted in whole or in part of a putrid animal substance.
On July 31, 1916, no claimant having appeared for the property, 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.
