On May 4, 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 a libel of information for the seizure and condemnation of 103?
cases of tomato pulp, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages ax Lawrence,?
Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped by William P. Andrews, Crapo, Md.,?
and transported from the State of Maryland into the State of Massachusetts, and?
charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel of information for the reason?
that it consisted in part of a filthy, putrid, and decomposed vegetable substance.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was in package form, and?
the quantity of the contents thereof was not plainly and conspicuously marked upon?
the packages thereof.
On May 24, 1916, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of con??
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the prod??
uct should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
GAEL VKOOMAN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
