On or about May 31 and June 6, 1941, the United States attorneys for the

each containing 24 cans, of tomatoes at Walla Walla, Wash., and 50 cases, each 
containing 12 cans, of tomato juice at La Grande, Oreg., alleging that the articles 
had been shipped on or about September 23 and November 18, 1940, by H. D. Olson 
from Ogden Utah; and charging that they were adulterated in that they consisted 
wholly or in part of decomposed substances. The articles were labeled in part:
