405. Adulteration of  apples.     U.  S. v. 48 Bushels of Apples.    Default  decree
of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 1407.   Sample No. 79980-D.)
On November 9, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Iowa filed a libel against 48 bushels of apples at Mason City, Iowa, alleging 
that the article had been transported in interstate commerce on or about Novem- 
ber 6, 1939, by Herb Barland in his own truck, from Benton Harbor, Mich., to 
himself at Mason City, Iowa; and charging that it was adulterated in that it 
contained a poisonous or deleterious ingredient, lead, which might have rendered 
it harmful to health.
On December 14,1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment-of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
