Morning Oregonian October 29, 1904
After over two hours deliberation yesterday afternoon,a jury in the court of 
Justice Reid, in the case of Henry Westerman,charged with selling adulterated 
milk,brought in a verdict of guilty,and,in spite of the fact that Westerman 
has been thrice convicted before of the same offense,the jury recommended that 
the lowest fine be assessed. The verdict was peculiar,statin gthat three 
samples of the milk should have been taken instead of one,and that one should 
have been given the defendant,that he might prtoect himself. Justice Reid 
remarked to the jury that the verdict surprised him and state that he hardly 
understood the reason for such a verdict,especially as the man had been found 
guilty of the same offense before.
