4105-m, 3766-m, 5401-m.)
On October 9, 1917, the United States attorney for the Western District?
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in?
the District Court of the United States for said district an information against?
E. Benjamin Holton, Webster, N. Y., alleging shipment by said defendant, in?
violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, on or about April 12, 1917,?
and March 29, 1917, from the State of New York into the States of New Hamp??
shire and Maryland, of quantities of an article labeled in part, " Net weight?
when packed 16 ounces. Sunset Brand Western New York Choice Evaporated?
Apples.    Packed by E. B. Holton, Webster, N. Y.," which was misbranded.
Examination of samples of the article in each shipment by the Bureau of?
Chemistry of this department showed the cartons to contain less than 16?
ounces.
Misbranding of the article in each shipment was alleged in the information?
for the reason that it was food in package form, and the quantity of the?
contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the?
package in terms of weight, measure, or numerical count.
On November 13, 1917, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the infor??
mation, and the court imposed a fine of $25.
