On January 22, 1915, the United States attorney for the Southern District of?
Ohio, 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 con??
demnation of 100 cases, each case containing 48 cans of tomato pulp, remaining?
unsold in the original unbroken packages at Hamilton, Ohio, alleging that the?
product had been shipped and transported from the State of Indiana into the?
State of Ohio, and charging adtilteration in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act. The cases were labeled: " No. 1 Scott Co. Tomato Pulp." The cans were?
labeled: " Scott Co. Brand Whole Tomato Pulp Packed by Austin Canning Co.,?
Austin, Ind.   Contents 10 oz."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
contained, and in part consisted of, a decomposed vegetable substance.
On February 8, 1915, no claimant having appeared for the property, an order?
pro confesso was entered, and on March 22, 1915, the final judgment and decree?
of the court was entered, whereby the goods were condemned and forfeited to?
the United States, and ordered to be destroyed by the United States marshal.
