against 148 cases each containing 24 bottles of tomato cateup at Mobile, Ala., 
and 29 cases each containing 48 cans of tomato puree at Cleveland, Ohio, alleging 
that the articles had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about Sep- 
tember 11 and 20, 1941, by Stokely Bros. & Co., Inc., from Indianapolis, Ind.; 
and charging that they were adulterated in that they consisted in whole or in

Tomato Puree.   Net Weight 10% Oz." 
On February 6 and March 25, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments 
of condemnation were entered and the products, were ordered destroyed.
