On April 25, 1929, the United States attorney for the Eastern 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 praying seizure and 
condemnation of 200 cases of canned shrimp, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at Spokane, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped by the 
Dorgan MePhillips Packing Corporation, from Biloxi, Miss., on or about Jan- 
uary 18, 1929, and transported from the State of Mississippi into the State of 
Washington, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. 
The article was labeled in part: "Alabama Brand Extra Fancy Selected Shrimp, 
Alabama Best, Packed by Dorgan MePhillips Packing Corporation, Mobile, Ala."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
in whole or in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On May 20, 1929, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that 
the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
