This product contained evidence of the presence of filth.
On July 18, 1938, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 50 pound cans 
of crab meat at Pittsburgh, Pa.; alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about July 12, 1938, by A. N. Faulkner from Tilgh- 
man, Md.; and charging adulteration 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 filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On July 18, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
