On April 25,1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of Cali- 
fornia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against Morris Rosenberg, trading at Los Angeles, Calif., 
alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of the Food and Drugs Act on 
or about July 24 and 31, 1937, from the State of California into the State of 
Oregon of quantities of walnut meats that were adulterated. The article was 
labeled in part: "Walnut Meats * * * Morris Rosenberg * * * Los 
Angeles."

filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.

sentenced to pay a fine of $150.
