guilty.    Fine, S50 and costs.     (F. & D. no.  36998.    Sample nos. 37894-B,

This case involved canned salmon that was in part decomposed.
On May 15, 1936, 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 the Superior Packing Co., a corporation, 
Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment by said company in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act, on or about September 16, 1935, from the Territory of Alaska 
into the State of Washington, of a quantity of canned salmon which was 
adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a 
decomposed and putrid animal substance.
On March 1, 1937, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and the court imposed a fine of $50 and costs.
