26925. Adulteration of apples.    TJ. S. v. 26 Bushels of Apples.    Default decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.    (F.   &   D.   no.   3S966.    Sample   no. 
26025-C.)
These apples were contaminated with arsenic and lead.
On December 15, 1936, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Wisconsin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 26 bushels of 
apples at Kenosha, Wis., alleging that the article had been transported in 
interstate commerce on or about November 13, 1936, from Hammond, Ind., by 
truck hired by Samuel Rosenbloom, the consignor, and accompanied by him to 
Kenosha, Wis., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drags 
Act.   It was labeled: "Harold Hiler R. 2 Watervliet, Mich."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poison- 
ous or deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered 
it harmful to health.
On December 15, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
