Examination of the applies involved' in this case showed the presence of lead 
and arsenic in amounts that might have rendered them injurious to health.
On or about November 1, 1934, the United States attorney for the Eastern 
District of Arkansas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 30 
bushels of apples at Marked Tree, Ark., alleging that the article had been 
transported in interstate commerce on or about October 24, 1934, by the Hil- 
ton Produce Co., from Cobden, Ill., and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poison- 
ous or deleterious ingredients, lead and arsenic, which might have rendered it 
harmful to health.
On December 6, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
