Adulteration of the product was alleged in the information for the reason that a?
substitute, to wit, water, had been mixed with said article of food so as to reduce?
and lower and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and further, for the reason?
that a substance, to wit, water, had been substituted in part for the article of food.
On May 27, 1913, the case having come on for trial before the court and a jury, a?
verdict of guilty was returned by the jury and the court imposed a fine of $15 and?
costs.?
