On January 2, 1918, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland,?
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 20 bags of mustard seed, consigned on or about November 10, 1917, remain??
ing unsold in the original unbroken packages at Baltimore, Md., alleging that?
the article had been shipped by the Catz American Co., New York, N. Y., and?
transported from the State of New York into the State of Maryland, and charg??
ing adulteration 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 and decomposed vegetable substance.
On February 26, 1918, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
