Filthy Goodies

Little boys are supposedly made of snaps & snails & puppy dog tails. Worse were the ingredients found by Federal inspectors in cheap candy made at the Brooklyn factory of Victor A. Bonomo and sold at goody counters to moppets of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut.

Federal Judge Grover M. Moscowitz, father of four Moscowitzes, glared indignantly from his bench as he heard a chemist's report on the contents of Bonomo's candy: "rodents' hairs, rodent excreta, larvae, fragments of human hair, bits of paper, bits of mouse pelts and fragments of glass." Sample pieces contained as high as 205 insect fragments, 204 mouse hairs. The Moscowitz sentence: $600 fine (legal maximum) and three years on probation for the filth purveyor.
