256. Adulteration of apples.     U.  S. v. 23 Crates of Apples.     Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 850.    Sample No.  79212-D.)
On October 6, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 23 crates of apples at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the 
article, consigned to Donald Williams, had been shipped in interstate commerce 
from Coloma, Mich., on or about September 24, 1939, by Donald Williams, in his 
own truck; and charging that it was adulterated in that it contained an added 
poisonous or deleterious ingredient, lead, which might have rendered it harmful 
to health.
On November 29,1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
