On or about November 13; 1909, T. J. Atwood, Mansfield Center,.?
Conn., shipped from the State of Connecticut to the State of Massa??
chusetts a consignment of milk.
Samples from this shipment were procured and analyzed by the?

that the product was adulterated within the meaning of the Food and?
Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the Secretary of Agriculture afforded?
said T. J. Atwood and the party from whom samples were procured?
opportunities for hearings. As it appeared after hearings held that?
said shipment was made in violation of the act, the Secretary of?
Agriculture reported the facts to the Attorney-General, with a state??
ment of the evidence upon which to base a prosecution. In due?
course a criminal information was filed in the District Court of the?
United States for the District of Connecticut against the said T. J.?
Atwood, charging the above shipment and alleging that the product?
as shipped was adulterated in that it consisted in part of a filthy,?
decomposed, and putrid animal or vegetable substance.
On June 30, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere?
and the court imposed a fine of $40.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs
