S. Nos. 2517, 2554.)
On or about November 19, December 7, and December 11, 1929, respectively, 
the United States attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, acting upon 
reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the 
United States for said district libels praying seizure and condemnation of 2,579 
cases of canned salmon, in various lots at Atlanta, Griffin, and Gloster, Ga., 
respectively, alleging that the article had been shipped by R. Damus from 
Seattle, Wash., in part on or about September 17, 1929, and in part on or about 
October 22, 1929, and transported from the State of Washington into the State 
of Georgia, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. 
A portion of the article was labeled in part: " Meadow Lark Brand Sockeye 
Salmon Packed by Pacific Coast and Norway Packing Company Petersburg, 
Alaska." The remainder of the said article was labeled in part: " Open Sea 
Brand, Red Alaska Salmon * * * Packed for Rothwell & Co., Inc., Seattle, 
Wash."
It was alleged in the libels that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in part of a filthy and decomposed and putrid animal substance.
On December 24, 1929, and January 28, 1930, respectively, no claimant having 
appeared for portions of the product, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture 
were entered, and it was ordered by the court that the said portions be 
destroyed by the United States marshal.
On January 29, 1930, claimants having appeared and filed answers contro- 
verting the essential allegations of the libels filed with respect to 2,054 cases 
of the product seized at Atlanta, Ga., the cases came on for trial before the 
court. Evidence was introduced at the trial on behalf of the claimants and 
the Government. The court found that the essential allegations of the libels 
were sustained by proof, and ordered that the said 2,054 cases of the product 
be condemned, forfeited, and destroyed by the United States marshal.
