9456.  Adulteration of tomato  pulp.     U.  S.     *     *      *     v.  99  Cases  of Tomato 
Pulp     *      *      *.     Default   decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and
destruction.     (F. & D. No. 12497.    I. S. No. 8599-r.     S. No. C-1933.)
On May 14, 1920, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Wis- 
consin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Districts 
Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and condemna- 
tion of 99 cases, more or less, each containing six cans of tomato pulp, remaining 
unsold in the original unbroken packages at Milwaukee, Wis., alleging that the 
article had been shipped on or about April 1, 1920, by the Morgan Packing Co., 
Austin, Ind., and transported from the State of Indiana into the State of Wis- 
consin, and charging adulteration in violation of the Pood and Drugs Act. 
Each of the cans was labeled in part: " Leota Brand Tomato Pulp * * * 
Leota Canning Co., Leota, Ind."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On August 12, 1920, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
G. W. PUGSLEY, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
