This case was based on an interstate shipment of dressed poultry. Examin- 
ation showed diseased conditions and decomposition in a large proportion of 
the fowls.
On April 1, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Utah, acting 
upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court an 
information against Joseph Anderson, Jesse W. Hoopes, Fred Bradley, John 
A. Johnston, Clyde C. Edmonds, and Harry L. Strong, trading as the Utah 
Poultry Producers Cooperative Association, Salt Lake City, Utah, alleging 
shipment by said defendants, on or about April 16, 1932, from the State of 
Utah into the State of California, of a quantity of dressed poultry which was 
adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
it consisted in whole and in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal 
substance, and in that it was a product of a diseased animal.
On April 4, 1933, a plea of guilty to the information was entered, and the 
court imposed a fine of $25.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
