i
On January 8, 1932, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for the district aforesaid an information 
against L. Claude Henderson, a member of a co-partnership trading as the 
Henderson Produce Co., Monroe City, Mo., alleging shipment by said company 
on or about August 25, 1930, from the State of Missouri into the State of New
Tork, in violation of the food and drugs act, of a quantity of frozen eggs that 
were adulterated.   The article was billed as " Frozen Eggs."
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
it consisted in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On May 23, 1932, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere to the 
information, and the court imposed a fine of $50.
HENRY A. WALLACE, Secretary of Agriculture.
