fault decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 45539. 
Sample No. 23795-D.)
This product contained evidence of the presence of filth.
On June 23, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 3 barrels of crab meat at Baltimore, 
Md.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about June 20, 1939, by the O. C. Co. from Biloxi, Miss.; and charging adultera- 
tion 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 animal substance.
On July 14, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
