On January 24, 1921, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, 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
72612°—21 3
condemnation of 1,669 cases, each containing 4 dozen pound cans, of salmon, 
remaining in the original unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the 
article had been shipped by the Central Alaska Fisheries, Inc., from Drier Bay, 
Alaska, on August 6, 1920, and transported from the Territory of Alaska into 
the State of Washington, and charging adulteration in, violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.

consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub- 
stance.

Marston, San Francisco, Calif., having entered an appearance as claimant for 
the property and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of con- 
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the 
product be released to said claimant upon payment of the costs of the proceed- 
ings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $7,500, in conformity with sec- 
tion 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the said product be disposed of a.s
