On February 17, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
New York filed an information against Lew Klamkin, trading as Belmont Candy 
Co. at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging shipment in interstate commerce on or about 
January 11 and 29, 1941, from the State of New York into the State of New 
Jersey of a quantity of candy which was adulterated in that it consisted in 
whole or in part of a,filthy substance; and in that it had been prepared under 
insanitary conditions whereby it might have become contaminated with filth. 
It was labeled in part: "Chocolate Covered Filled with Cherries," "Milk Chocolate 
Maple Milky Squares," "Belmont's Cocoanut Mountains," or "Belmont's Brazil 
Nuts."
On April 2, 1942, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the defend- 
ant, the court imposed a fine of $400.
