On March 15, 1918, the United States attorney for the District of Massa??
chusetts, acting upon a report by the State Department of Health of Massa??
chusetts, .filed in the District Court of the United States for the said district a?
libel of information praying the seizure and condemnation of two 5-gallon cans?
of scallops; remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Boston,?
Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Morehead City Sea?
Food Co., Morehead City, N. C, and transported from the State of North?
Carolina into the State of Massachusetts, and charging adulteration in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel of information for the?
reason that it contained filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substances so?
as to render it unfit for food.
On April 22, 1918, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
