On December 8, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts filed an information against the SanTMan Chocolates Co., a corporation, 
Boston, Mass., and William WrCummings and Everett Buck, officers of the 
corporation, alleging shipment within the period from on or about January 9 
to on or about May 6, 1941, from the State of Massachusetts into the States of 
Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Vermont, and Rhode Island, of 
quantities of candy that was adulterated. Portions of these shipments were made 
in the name of the Romance Chocolates Co. The article was labeled in part: 
" 'Brick Top' Caramel Pops," "Honey Caramel Circles By Romance," "Bouquet 
of Sweets," "Rosella Chocolates," "Miss Ann's Assorted Chocolates," or "San- 
Man Chocolates."
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 December 22, 1942, pleas of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant corporation, and by the individual defendants, the court imposed a 
fine of $50 against the corporation and a fine of $25 against each of the indi- 
vidual defendants.
