On November 26, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District?
of North Carolina, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed?
in the District Court of the United States for said district an information?
against Wallace M. Quinn, trading as the Wallace M. Quinn Co., Morehead?
City, N. C, alleging shipment by the said defendant, in violation of the Food?
and Drugs Act, on or about January 22, 1918, and March 19, 1918, from the?
State of North Carolina into the State of New York, and on or about February?
2, 1918, and January 16, 1918, into the State of Georgia, of quantities of?
scallops which were adulterated.
Examination of samples of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this?
department showed the following results:
Total solids?
(per cent).
Shipment of January 22?
?11. 27
Shipment of March 19?
?12. 90
Shipment of February 2?
?10. 95
Shipment of January 16?
?11.12
Adulteration of the article in each shipment was alleged in substance in the?
information for the reason that a substance, to wit, added water, had been?
mixed therewith so as to lower and reduce and injuriously affect its quality?
and had been substituted in part for scallops, which the article purported to be.
On Noyember 5, 1919, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the?
information, and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
