U.  S. v. Herman Imhring.   Tried  to a jury.    Verdict  guilty.   Fine, $25  and

ADULTERATION OF MILK.
At the May, 1911, term of the District Court of the United States 
for the District of Indiana the grand jurors of the United States 
within and for said district, acting upon a report of the Secretary 
of Agriculture, returned an indictment against Herman Luhring, 
Cold Springs, Ind., charging shipment by said defendant, in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act, on June 9, 1910, from the State of 
Indiana into the State of Ohio, of a quantity of milk which was 
adulterated. The product was labeled: "French Bros,Bauer Co. 
Herman Luhring."
Bacteriological examination of a sample of the product by the 
Bureau of Chemistry of this Department showed that it contained 
an excessive number of bacteria, including members of the B. coli 
group, indicating that it was filthy, putrid, and decomposed. Adul- 
teration of the product was charged in the indictment for the reason 
that it consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal 
substance.
On December 4, 1911, the case having come on for trial before the 
court and a jury, a verdict of guilty was returned by the jury and 
the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
