Cleveland, Ohio, filed in the District Court of the United States for said?
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 1 case, containing twenty?
5-pound cans of dried mushrooms, at Cleveland, Ohio, alleging that the article?
had been shipped on or about March 20, 1917, by Meyer & Lange, New York,?
N. Y., and transported from the State of New York into the State of Ohio,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the?
reason that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid?
animal or  vegetable substance.
On February 8, 1918, the said Meyer & Lange, claimant, having admitted the?
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered,?
and it was ordered by the court that the product be destroyed by the United?
States marshal, and that judgment be entered- against- said claimant for the?
costs of the proceedings.
