On March IS, 1918, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Louisiana, 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 577 cases, each containing 48 cans of salmon, remaining un??
sold in the original unbroken packages, at New Orleans, La., alleging that the?
article had been shipped on oi- about December 17, 1917, by F. C. Barnes Co.,?
Seattle, Wash., and transported from the State of Washington into the State?
of Louisiana, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a putrid and decomposed animal substance.
On June 21, 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.
