Fine, $25 and costs.     (F. & D. no. 37015.    Sample nos. 64939-B, 64949-B.)
This case involved shipment of canned salmon that consisted in part of a 
decomposed animal substance.
On May 5, 1936, the United States attorney for the third division of the Dis- 
trict of Alaska, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court an information against Herbert Heglin, at Halibut Bay, Alaska, 
alleging that on or about August 24, 1935, the defendant had shipped from 
Alaska into the State of Washington, under the name of the Halibut Bay Pack- 
ing Co., a number of unlabeled cans of salmon, and that the article was adul- 
terated in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of decom- 
posed animal substance.
On May 25, 1936, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant and 
the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
