Default    decree    of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and    destruction.
(F. & D. No. 14658.    I. S. No. 4396-t.    S. No. C-2881.)
On March 21, 1921, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Illinois, 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 16 cases of tomato catsup, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Champaign, 111., consigned by Paul DeLaney Co., Inc.,?
Brockton, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about Sep??
tember 21, 1920, and transported from the State of New York into the State of?
Illinois, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.?
The article was labeled in part: "University Extra Fancy Tomato Catsup."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in whole or in part of filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On July 3, 1922, 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.
C. W. PTJGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
