22388. Adulteration of trustees.    U. S. v. Arthur Zippel.     Plea of guilty.
Fine, 850.     (F. & D. no. 31379.    Sample nos. 4572-A, 28544-A.)
This case was based on interstate shipments of tribes that were infested 
with worms.
On May 24, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
an information against Arthur Zippel, Baudette, Minn., alleging shipment by 
said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about July 19, 
1932, and January 21, 1933, from the State of Minnesota into the State of Illi- 
nois, of quantities of tullibees that were adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub- 
stance ; and in that it consisted of a portion of an animal unfit for food.
On May 24, 1934, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of $50.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
