[Supplement 100,
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in part of filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance, to wit,?
moldy, musty, and rotten olives, and was unlit for human food.
Thereafter, on or about October 19, 1920, the case having come on for disposi??
tion and no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of condemna??
tion and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product?
be destroyed by Ihe United States marshal.
