On April 12, 1916, 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 libels pf information for the seizure and condemna??
tion of 25 cases, 40 cases, and 45 cases of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Lawrence, Mass , Boston, Mass , and Fall River, Mass., re??
spectively, alleging that the article had been shipped by Wm. P. Andrews, Crapo,?
Md., and transported from the State of Maryland into the State of Massachusetts,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels of information for the reason?
that it consisted in part of a filthy, putrid, and decomposed vegetable substance.
On May 9, 1916, no claimants having appeared for the property, judgments of?
condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court that the?
product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
