On January 27, 1943, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri filed an information against Peter Anastasoff and James Anastasoff, 
trading as co-partners under the firm name of Purity Candy Co. at St. Louis, 
Mo., alleging shipment on or about July 16, 1942, from the State of Missouri 
into the States of Indiana, North Dakota, and West Virginia of quantities of 
candy that was 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. The article was labeled in part: 
"Liberty Deal," "Black Bottom," "Liberty," "Toasty-Treat," "Bomber," "Keep 
'Em Flying."
On April 7, 1943, the defendants having entered pleas of guilty, the court im- 
posed the following fines against each individual defendant: $500 on count 1, 
X on each of counts of 3 and 4. The court sentenced the defendants to 5 
months in jail on count 2 unless the fines were paid within 30 days, in which 
event the defendants would be placed on probation. The fines were paid and 
the defendants were placed on probation.
