On November 10, 1937, 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 22 bushels of apples 
at Milwaukee, Wis., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about November 7,1937, from Benton Harbor, Mich., by A. Recht, 
to himself at Milwaukee, Wis., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled: "From Tom Daly Watervliet,

deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which might have rendered it harmful 
to health.

tion was entered ordering' the product destroyed.
