On June 29, 1922, the United States attorney for the Southern District of?
Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District?
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and?
condemnation of 396 boxes of oranges, remaining unsold in the original unbroken?
packages at Cincinnati, Ohio, consigned on or about June 20,1922, alleging that?
the article had been shipped by the Randolph Marketing Co., from Anaheim,?
Calif., and transported from the State of California into the State of Ohio,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article?
was labeled in part:   " Piute    *    *    *    Randolph Marketing Co. California."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On July 1, 1922, the Joseph Gentile Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, having appeared?
as claimant for the property and having consented to the entry of a decree,?
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by?
the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of?
the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a good and sufficient bond,?
in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the bad por??
tion be separated from the good portion under the supervision of this depart??
ment, and that the product be not shipped except upon the approval of this de??
partment.
