On or about March 1, 1917, the United States attorney for the Western Dis- 
trict of Kentucky, 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 condemnation of 260 cases of tomato pulp, consigned on or about Septem- 
ber 9, 1916, November 7, 1916, November 21, 1916, November 27, 1916, and 
December 7, 1916, by the Rider Packing Co., Crothersville, Ind., remaining un- 
sold in the original unbroken packages at Louisville, Ky., alleging that the 
article had been shipped and transported from the State of Indiana into the 
State of Kentucky, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, " Rider's Class A Brand Tomato 
Pulp made from Tomatoes, Pieces of Tomatoes and Tomato Trimmings."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
contained, and in part consisted of, a partially decomposed vegetable substance.
On April 2, 1917, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was overtly the court that 
the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
