On August 19, 1915, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 430 bags of horse beans, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been?
shipped on August 10, 1915, by Bernard & Bunker, Gilroy, Cal., and transported?
from the State of California into the State of Louisiana, and charging adultera??
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On September 17, 1915, Nevins Kirkpatrick, claimant, having consented to a?
decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was?
ordered by the court that the product should be delivered to said claimant upon?
payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of bond in the sum?
of $1,000, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
