On June 5, 1915, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district an information against?
Lepman & Heggie, a corporation, Chicago, 111., alleging shipment by said com??
pany, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on November 5, 1912, from the?
State of Illinois into the State of New York, of a quantity of frozen mixed?
eggs, which article was adulterated.
Analysis of samples of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry of this?
department showed that the product was badly decomposed. The results were?
in accordance with those obtained on black-rot eggs.
Adulteration was alleged in the information for the reason that the article,?
when it was shipped and delivered for shipment, consisted wholly of a filthy?
animal substance; for the further reason that it consisted in part of a filthy?
animal substance; for the further reason that it consisted wholly of a de??
composed animal substance; for the further reason that it consisted in part?
of a decomposed animal substance; for the further reason that it consisted?
wholly of a putrid animal substance; and for the further reason that it con??
sisted in part of a putrid animal substance.?

On December 9, 1915, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty to the?
information, and on December 13, 1915, the court imposed a fine of $200 and?
costs.
