On or about August 13, 1909, Mike Beam, Delaware, Ind., shipped?
from the State of Indiana to the State of Ohio four cans of milk.?
Samples from this shipment were procured and analyzed by the?

uct was adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act?
of June 30, 1906, the Secretary of Agriculture afforded the said Mike?
Beam and the party from whom the samples were procured oppor??
tunities for hearing. As it appeared after hearings held that the?
shipment was made in violation of the act, the Secretary of Agricul??
ture reported the facts to the Attorney-General, with a statement of?
the evidence upon which to base a prosecution.
On May 7, 1910, an indictment was returned against the said Mike?
Beam by the grand jurors of the United States in and for the District?
of Indiana, at the May term of the District Court of the United States?
for the said district, charging the above shipment and alleging that?
the milk so shipped was adulterated in that a certain substance, to?
wit, water, had been mixed with said milk so as to reduce and lower?
its quality and strength.
On May IT, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the?
above indictment and the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs.
