This case involved a shipment of crab meat that was found to contain 
filth.
On July 29, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Columbia, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Supreme 
Court of the District of Columbia, holding a district court, a libel praying 
.seizure and condemnation of one barrel of crab meat at Washington, D.C., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on/ or 
about July 27, 1933, by Ballard Bros. Fish Co., from Exmore, Va., and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs   Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy animal substance.
On October 18, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court  that   the  product    be  destroyed   by  the   United  States   marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
