Legion Head Rules Out Sabotage
Harrisburg AP Joseph Adams commander of the state American Legion says he does not believe sabotage caused the legionnaires disease that has killed 23. He described the outbreak as coincidence and noted the FBI asked routine questions. An FBI Philadelphia spokesman said no investigation is underway and BI would share any findings with other agencies. Adams recalled threats at the Minneapolis national convention but Hoak and Wiles could not confirm them. Adams attended a funeral Thursday and wakes Wednesday while others remain in shock.
