moved.     (F. & D. no. 3G740.    Sample no. 47889-B.)
This case involved a shipment of apples that were contaminated with lead 
and arsenic.
On October 28, 1935, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 300 bushels of apples at 
Toledo, Ohio, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about October 21, 1935, by W. A. Morrin, from Erie, Mich., and charging 
adulteration In violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained poisonous in- 
gredients, lead and arsenic, which might have rendered it injurious to health.
On November 1, 1935, W. A. Morrin, having appeared as claimant, judgment 
was entered ordering that the product be released under bond, conditioned that 
it be washed in order to remove the deleterious substances.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
