On July 16, 1921, the United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts,?
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 17 cases, each containing 6 unlabeled cans, of tomato pulp, remaining unsold?
in the original unbroken packages at Cambridge, Mass., alleging that the article?
had been shipped by the Lin-Del Co., Inc., Middleport, N. Y., on or about May?
7, 1921, and transported from the State of New York into the State of Massachu??
setts, 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 whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable sub??
stance.
On November 14, 1921, 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 be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
