This case was based on shipments of canned salmon which was found to 
be in part decomposed.
On February 28, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture,  filed
in the district court an information against Libby, McNeill & Libby, a corpo- 
ration, having a place of business at Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment by said, 
company in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about July 24, July 25/ 
and August 23, 1932, from Alaska into the State of Washington, of quantities 
of salmon which was adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
it consisted in part of a decomposed and putrid animal substance.
On March 19, 1934, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
company, and the court imposed a fine of $450 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
