NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 512, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On or about August 17, 1908, D. W. Hall and Richard Lewis, trad??
ing as Hall & Lewis, delivered for shipment and shipped from Lack-?
mans, Kans., to Kansas City, Mo., a quantity of milk. Samples from?
this shipment were procured and analyzed in the Bureau of Chem??
istry, United States Department of Agriculture. As the findings of?
the analyst and the report made indicated that the product was?
adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of June?
30, 1906, the said Hall & Lewis, and the parties from whom the?
samples were procured, were afforded opportunities for hearings. As?
it appeared after hearings held that said shipment and delivery for?
shipment were made in violation of the act, the Secretary of Agri??
culture reported the facts to the Attorney-General, with a statement?
of the evidence upon which to base a prosecution.
In due course a criminal information, containing two counts, was?
filed in the District Court of the United States for the District of?
Kansas against the said D. W. Hall and Richard Lewis, charging the?
above delivery for shipment and shipment, respectively, and alleging?
that the product was adulterated in that water had been mixed and?
packed with said milk so as to reduce and lower its quality and?
strength, and that water had been substituted in part for said milk.
On April 12, 1909, the said defendant Hall & Lewis, by Richard?
Lewis, pleaded guilty to the information, whereupon the court im??
posed a fine of $5 on each count thereof, together with the costs of?
prosecution taxed at $22.10.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.
