decreeof condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No.7864. I.S.No.2527-m.?
S. No. E-754.)
On November 20, 1916, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New?
York, 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 30 cases, each containing 4 dozen packages of tomato pulp labeled in part,?
"Halethorpe Brand Tomato Pulp * * * Packed by V. G. Spindler, Halethorpe,?
Md.," remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Brooklyn, N. Y.,?
alleging that the article had been shipped on or about October 17, 1916, by H. J.?
McGrath Co., Baltimore, Md., 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 the libel for the reason that it consisted?
in part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
December 5, 1916, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of?
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and on January 30, 1917, it was ordered?
by the court that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
