On December 5, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Georgia filed an information against Norris, Inc., at Atlanta, Ga., alleging 
shipment in interstate commerce in the name of Norris, Inc;, Brookwood Candies, 
Inc., and Marcelle Candies, Inc., within the period from on or about September 
20 to on or about November 19, 1940, from the State of Georgia into the States 
of Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, and North Carolina, of quantities of candy 
that was adulterated. Portions of the article were labeled in part: "Esquire 
Chocolate Coated Cordial Cherries"; "Caprice Chocolate Coated Cordial Cher- 
ries"; "Lamar Chocolate Covered Peppermints [or "Maple Cream Walnuts," 
"Butter Creams," "Vanilla Caramels"]"; or "Delia Robbia Mints."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy substance, and in that it had been prepared under insanitary 
conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth.
On September 24, 1942, a plea of nolo contendere was entered on behalf of the 
defendant and on September 25, 1942, the court imposed a fine of $200.
