1646. Adulteration of turkeys.     U. S. V. Hugh A. Pruitt   (Pruitt Produce Co.).
Plea of guilty.    Fine, $25.     (F. D. C. No. 2072.    Sample No. 86308-D.)
This product was in whole or in part emaciated, diseased, or decomposed.
On July 30, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Texas 
filed an information against Hugh A. Pruitt, trading as Pruitt Produce Co., 
at Sherman, Tex., alleging shipment on or about November 17, 1939, from the 
State of Texas into the State of New York, of a quantity of turkeys that were 
adulterated in that they were in whole or in part the product of diseased 
animals; and in that they consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed 
substance.
On August 2, 1940, the defendant having entered a plea of guilty, the court 
imposed a fine of $25.
Nos. 1647 to 1650 report the seizure and disposition of turkeys which had 
not been slaughtered and bled, but apparently had been frozen to death in a 
severe storm.
