On or about September 20, 1939, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Oklahoma filed a libel against 64 bushels of apples at Shawnee, 
Okla., alleging that the article had been transported in interstate commerce 
on or about September 17, 1939, by T. H. Owens, in his own truck, from 
Springdale, Ark.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it contained 
an added poisonous ingredient, lead, which might have rendered it injurious 
. to health. 
On September 20, 1939, the consignee having consented, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered md the product was ordered destroyed.
