trict Court of the United States for said district an information against?
LeRoy Marvin Langrall, Ernest Hooper Langrall, and Harrison Morton Lang-?
rail, copartners, trading as the Baltimore Canning Co., Baltimore, Md., alleg??
ing shipment by said defendants in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on?
or about November 3, 1921, from the State of Maryland into the State of!?
Pennsylvania, of a quantity of oysters which were adulterated. The article?

tion, and the court imposed a fine of $150 and costs.
