On June 12, 1917, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey, 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 280 cans of tomato?
pulp at Jersey City, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about?
March 25, 1917, and transported from the State of Maryland into the State of New?
York, 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, and putrid vegetable substance.
On April 15, 1918, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of con??
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the prop??
erty should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
