On November 6, 1939, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Tennessee filed a libel against 60 bushels of apples at Memphis, Tenn., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
October 29, 1939, by Joe Mascari in his own truck from Benton Harbor, Mich.; 
and. charging that it was adulterated in that it contained added poisonous or 
deleterious ingredients, lead and arsenic, which might have rendered it harm- 
ful to health.
On December 5, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
