On December 16, 1915, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Illinois, 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 condemna??
tion of 50 cases, more or less, each containing four dozen cans, of tomato pulp,?
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Chicago, 111., alleging?
that the article had been shipped on October 4, 1915, by the Scottsburg Can??
ning Co., Scottsburg, Ind., and transported from the State of Indiana, into the?
State of Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs?
Act.?
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that when?
it was so shipped as aforesaid it consisted in part of a filthy vegetable sub??
stance, for the further reason that it consisted in part of a decomposed vege??
table substance, and for the further reason that it consisted in. part of a putrid?
vegetable substance.
On March 29, 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.
