Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that certain substances, to wit, artificial flavors, artificial colors, 
gelatine or glue, sugar, and acid had been mixed with it so as to 
reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality, and for the further 
reason that artificial flavors, artificial colors, gelatine or glue, sugar, 
and acid had been substituted wholly or in part for the product. 
Adulteration of the product was alleged for the further reason that it 
was colored in a manner whereby its inferiority was concealed. 
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the cartons were labeled, 
among other things, "Regal Gelee Jelly," thereby representing the 
product to be jelly, whereas in truth and in fact it was not jelly but 
was an imitation thereof. Misbranding was alleged for the further 
reason that the cartons were labeled, among other things, "Regal 
Gelee Jelly, Manufactured Par. Manufactured By Brault & Des- 
Jardins, 125 St. Paul Montreal," thereby representing the product 
to be a foreign product, to wit, a product which had been manufac- 
tured in a foreign country, to wit, Canada, and imported into the 
United States, whereas in truth and in fact it had not been manu- 
factured in Canada and imported into the United States but was a 
product which had been manufactured in the United States.
On July 24, 1912, no claimant having appeared for the property, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it was 
further ordered that the product should be destroyed by the United 
States marshal.
