STOLE CREAM FROM
MILK CANS
F. II. Berger and Wife, South
Woodstock, Admit Theft
From Top of Milk Mr.. Berger
Collected From Farmers.
Appeared Before Justice Charles NJ.
Perrin.-Paid Fine and Costs
of S55s4

Woodstock II. Berger and his
wife. South Woodstock, appeared be-
fore Justice Charles NJ. Perrin Mon
day, and pleaded guilty to the theft
of cream. They paid fines and costs
amounting to S55.S4 The only
thing they had to say was that they
might as well have it as the men on
the train"
According to Deputy Sheriff L. II.
Healey. the Bergers have been under
suspicion for some time. Mr. Berger
and makes mis- milk collections from
various farmers and carries it to the
railroad station, where it is shipped to
Boston Much to the surprise of a
number of reliable farmers their
milk has shown a low test While
they were suspicious that the cream
was being taken from their milk after
it left their hands, they had no proof
as to where it went to, although they
were suspicious of the collector.
The Dairy and Food Commission
er's office was notified and Sunday af-
ternoon two representatives from the
department called on Mr.. Healey and
asked what could be done about it
"Catch them" said Mr. Healey.
Before 5 o'clock Monday morning
Mr. Healey and the dairy representa-
tives went to the Berger place. Mr.
Healey says: 81 saw Mrs. Berger
come out to the barn. There were
cans of milk that had been collected
the night before. l was hiding in the
bushes and it was so dark that could
not see her, but l heard her lift the
covers from the cans one after anoth-
err and knew we'll what she was doing
ut was not long before Berger
drove in with his morning collection
He drove his wagon in onto the barn
floor and left the barn door wide
open 1t so happened that he put the
lantern where the light was thrown
right on the cans, and | saw Mrs. Ber-
ger with a pail in her hand. She be
gan at the first row of cans and went
through the whole lot, lifting up the
covers and dipping out ladle of
cream which she put in the pail |
walked behind them and said, Hey,
Berger and asked them if they had
seen a strange horse and wagon go
by Mrs. Berger carefully poured a
ladle of cream back in a can and put
the cover on. | asked her what she
had in the pail and she said she had
Just MIXED the COW She went into
the house. Later she came out again
and repeated her story about just
milking the cow, and one of the men
asked if her COW gave cold milk.
said to Berger, Well we've caught
you He said, Yes, it would seem
so.
Mr. Healey said that the low test
must have made a considerable differ
enee in the amount paid for the milk
and it was fortunate that some of the
farmers were not hailed before the
United States district court and fined
for having milk below standard for
which they were in no wise to blame,
as it appears from the story relsted
above to what made the tests go
down
