On May 13, 1918, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Alabama, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure and?
condemnation of 62 cases, each containing 4 dozen cans of salmon, at Haleyville,?
Ala., alleging that the article had been shipped on November 12, 1917, by the?
F. O. Barnes Co., Seattle, Wash., and transported from the State of Washing??
ton into the State of Alabama, and charging adulteration in violation of the?
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part, " Fancy Pink Alaska?
Salmon Cable Brand."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the reason?
that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On April 7, 1919, 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.
