84. Adulteration of apples.     V. S. v. 180 Bushels and 10 Bushels of Apples  (and
3 other seizure actions against apples). Decrees of condemnation and 
destruction. (P. D. C. Nos. G22, 681, 694, 695. Sample Nos. 46290-D, 46433-D,

Between September 8 and 16, 1939, the United States attorney for the 
Northern District of Illinois filed four libels against a total of 352 bushels of 
apples at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce within the period from on or about August 23 to on or about Septem-
i
ber 5, 1939, by the C. C. Winkler Co. from Vinceunes, Ind.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it contained an added poisonous or deleterious in- 
gredient, lead, which might have rendered it harmful to health. The article 
was labeled in part: "From N. T. Yates Decker, Indiana."
On September 21, October 10, October 27, and November 2, 1939, judgments of 
condemnation were entered by consent of the claimant in certain cases and 
by default in the others.
