This case involved .an interstate shipment of canned salmon which was found 
to be in part decomposed.
On December 18, 1935, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 1,175 cases of red 
salmon and 2,304 cases of pink salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 29, 1935, by H. T. 
Domenici, from Uyak Bay, Alaska, and that it was adulterated in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance.
On February 13, 1936, H. T. Domenici having appeared as claimant and hav- 
ing admitted the allegations of the libel and consented to a decree, judgment of 
condemnation was entered, and it was ordered that the product be released under 
bond conditioned that the decomposed portion be segregated and destroyed.
