403. Adulteration of apples.     U. S. v. 335 Bushels of Jonathan Apples.     Default
decree  of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 1174. 
Sample Nos. 67070-D, 72082-D.)
On or about November 30, 1939, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Missouri filed a libel against 335 bushels of Jonathan apples at St. 
Joseph, Mo., alleging that the apples had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about September 4 and 5, 1939, by the Troy Apple Growers Association 
from Troy, Kans.; and charging that they were adulterated in that they con- 
tained a poisonous or deleterious ingredient, namely, lead, which might have 
rendered them injurious to health.
On January 24, 1940, no claimant having appeared, a decree of condemna- 
tion was entered and the apples were ordered destroyed.
