Newark Fire Tragedy Yields Five More Names
In Newark New Jersey an unidentified body remains in the morgue as Wolfe Manufacturing loses more workers. Five additional identifications are added Sunday among the dead: Minnie Gottlieb Tillie Gottlieb Dora Gottlieb Charlotte Heckler Mrs Lucy Sullivan. No bodies were recovered from the burned building Sunday and Fire Chief Ashley believes no further remains will be found. A crowd of about 200000 sightseers crowded police lines as detectives from the county prosecutor’s office examine the scene to determine responsibility for the loss of life. Photographs and measurements will aid the official inquiry to follow. Officials say city ordinances cannot curb a preexisting building and state law may impose less stringent rules. No date for the inquiry has been set. The city mourns as sermons reference the tragedy and prayers are offered. The remains will be brought on train No 65 to St Augustine’s parish home on West Main Street for Requiem Mass. Undertaker McCabe handles funerals for the victims. The Sentinel offers sympathy to the bereaved.
