Indicted Kilgore firm faces 9000 counts in deadly munitions blast
Newark July 11. A 2500 page federal indictment charges Kilgore Manufacturing Co of Newark Ohio with 9000 counts for a May 19 1950 munitions blast at South Amboy New Jersey that killed 31 workers and caused over 10 million dollars in damage. The indictment alleges ICC rule violations by packing detonators with munitions. If convicted on all counts the firm could face up to 960 million dollars in fines. The case, the largest in New Jersey history, names no Kilgore officials and is not likely to go to trial until next month due to summer court curtailments. The blast originated May 18 1950 near Van Atta Ohio and destroyed 10 rail cars before exploding on the South Amboy waterfront killing 31 and damaging nearby towns.
