On June 28, 1918, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Pennsylvania, 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 six cases, each containing twelve 1-gallon cans and two?
separate 1-gallon cans of alleged olive oil, consigned .by Emilio Di Bianco,?
New York, N. Y., remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at?
Philadelphia, Ta., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about June 1,?
1918, and transported from the State of New York into the State of Pennsyl??
vania, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food?
and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted wholly or in part of cottonseed oil.
It was alleged in substance in the libel that the statement, to wit, " 1 Gall.?
Net," represented to the purchaser that the package contained one gallon net,?
when, in truth and in fact, it did not contain one gallon net; and for the?
further reason that it was invoiced and represented by the shipper to be?
?live oil, not of the first quality, but a second-grade Spanish oil, when, iu?
fact, it consisted wholly or in part of cottonseed oil.
