25589. Adulteration of apples.     TJ.   S.  v.   K.  Lane  Johnson   Co.,   Inc.     Plea  of
guilty.    Fine, $10.    <F. & D. no. 35933.    Sample has. 360-B, 3«3~B.)
This ease was based on an interstate shipment of apples, examination of 
which showed the presence of arsenic and lead in amounts that might have 
rendered them injurious to health.
On September 13, 1935, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court an information against the K. Lane Johnson Co., a corpora- 
tion, Yakima, Wash., charging shipment by said corporation in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act, on or about February 6, 1935, from the State of Wash- 
ington into the State of California, of a quantity of apples that were adul- 
terated. The article was labeled in part: "Rome Beauty 2OB-096 [or ¦'•2GB- 
097" ox "20B-101"]/*
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it contained added poison- 
ous or deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, in amounts that might have 
rendered it injurious to health.
On May 7, 1933, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
corporation, and the court imposed a fine of $10.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
