On or about November 3, 1919, the United States attorney for the Western?
District of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture,?
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the?
seizure and condemnation of 55 cases of White Cross Brand Alaska Pink?
Salmon and 235 cases of Medium Red Salmon, remaining in the original un??
broken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped?
by the Copper River Packing Co., Nellie Juan, Alaska, and transported from the?
Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, the shipment arriving on or?
about September 9, 1919, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On September 1, 1920, the said Copper River Packing Co., Nellie Juan, Alaska,?
claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and consented to a de??
cree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered?
by the court that the product might be released to said claimant upon payment?
of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000?
in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the claimant?
separate such portion of the product as might not be adulterated from the por??
tion which was filthy, decomposed, and putrid, and that the unadulterated por??
tion of the product be released by the marshal to the claimant, and that the?
portion of said product unfit for food be destroyed.
