815. Adulteration of apples.    U. S. v. 62 Crates of Apples.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 1103.    Sample No. 79206-D.)
On September 29, 1989, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Illinois filed a libel against 62 crates of apples at Kankakee, Ill. alleging 
that the article had  been transported in  interstate commerce on or about
September 24, 1939, from Sodus, Mich., by John Panozzo, to his place of business 
at Kankakee, Ill.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it contained 
an added poisonous or deleterious ingredient externally applied, namely, lead 
in harmful quantities.
On January 8, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
