nolo contendere. Fine, $75 and costs. (F. & D. No. 10302. I. S. No.?
10405-p.)
On October 9, 1919, the Grand Jurors of the United States within and for?
the Eastern District of Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri??
culture, upon presentment by the United States attorney for said district,?
returned in the District Court of the United States for the district aforesaid?
an indictment against John H. Schulte, Breese. 111., charging shipment by said?
defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on September 28, 1917, from?
the State of Illinois into the State of Missouri, of a quantity of milk which?
was adulterated. The article was labeled in part: (Tag)"* * * From J. H.?
Schulte, Breese, 111., B. R. 2, Box 77."
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this?
department showed that it was very dirty.
Adulteration of the article was charged in the indictment for the reason that?
it consisted in part of a filthy animal substance.
On October 20, 1920, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere to the?
indictment, and the court imposed a fine of $75 and costs.
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
