8983.    I. S. Nos. 3005-p, 2400-p.)
On August 14, 1918, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland,?
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court?
of the United States for said district an information against Robert Jarrell, sr.,?
T. Noble Jarrell, and Robert Jarrell, jr., copartners, trading as Robert Jarrell?
& Sons, Goldsboro, Md., alleging shipment by said defendants, in violation of?
the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, on or about November 20, 1917, from the?
State of Maryland into the State of Pennsylvania, of a quantity of an article?
labeled in part, " Tomato Pulp," which was adulterated and misbranded.
Examination of samples of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment* showed it to be partially decomposed.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that?
it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable?
substance.
Misbranding of the article was alleged for the reason that it was food in?
package form, and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicu??
ously marked on the outside of the package.
On August 14, 1918, the defendants entered pleas of guilty to the information,?
and the court imposed a fine of $20 and costs.
J. R. RIGGS, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
