Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of?
18 cases, each containing 120 cans of tomato paste, remaining in the original cases at?
Birmingham, Ala., alleging that the article had been shipped on October 21, 1917,?
by F. G. Favaloro & Sons, New Orleans, La., and transported from the State of?
Louisiana into the State of Alabama, and charging adulteration in violation of the?
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, "Cowboy Brand Tomato?
Paste."
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 animal or vegetable?
substance.

having entered its appearance and made known to the court that it did not desire to?
resist a decree in the case, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and?
it was ordered by the court that the product should be destroyed by the United?
States marshal.
