24169. Adulteration of   apples.    U.   S.   v.   21   Bushels   of   Apples.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 34887. Sample 
no. 25349-B.)
Examination of the apples involved in this case showed the presence of 
arsenic and lead in amounts that might have rendered them injurious to health.
On November 26, 1934, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 21 bushels of apples 
at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about November 19,1934, by Steve Miliskiewicz, from South Haven, Mich., 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article 
was labeled in part: " Steve Miliskiewicz, South Haven, Mich.   Grimes Golden."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poisonous 
and deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, in amounts that might have ren- 
dered it injurious to health.
On January 18,1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
