1.1042. Adulteration of shell eggs. U. S. v. Joe Milton Arnold and Richard?
Wesley Newman (Arnold & Newman). Pleas of guilty. Fine, $50?
and costs.     (F. & D. No. 15593.    I. S. No. 3358-t.)
On April 3, 1922, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district an information against?
Joe Milton Arnold and Richard Wesley Newman, co-partners, trading under?
the firm name of Arnold & Newman, Baldwyn, Miss., alleging shipment by said?
defendants in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about September 27,?
1921, from the State of Mississippi into the State of Alabama, of a quantity of?
shell eggs which were adulterated.
Examination, by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department, of 30 eggs?
from the consignment showed that 23, or 6.4 per cent of those examined, were?
inedible eggs, consisting of black rots, mixed or white rots, spot rots, and heavy?
blood rings.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On October 2, 1922, the defendants entered pleas of guilty to the information,?
and the court imposed a fine of $50 and costs.
C. F. MAKVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
