On or about May 26, 1910, George A. Willson, Lay Hill, Md., sold?

milk. Dr. William C. Woodward, health officer of the District of?
Columbia, acting under authority of the Secretary of Agriculture,?
caused a sample from the above delivery to be procured and analyzed.?
As the findings of the analyst and report thereon indicated that the?
milk was adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act?
of June 30, 1906, the said George A. Willson was afforded an oppor??
tunity for hearing, and as it appeared after hearing held that the said?
sale was in violation of the act, the said health officer reported the?
facts to the United States attorney for the District of Columbia.
In due course a criminal information against the said George A.?
Willson was filed in the Police Court of the District of Columbia,?
charging that the milk was adulterated, in that a valuable constituent?
thereof, to wit, butter fat, had been left out and abstracted, wholly?
or in part.
On June 17, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the?
above information, and the court imposed a fine of $5.
