Waldo Sees Croker Fight a Real Fire In City Building
Fire Commissioner Waldo watched Chief Croker and his crew battle a three hour blaze at the five story Rosenstein wholesale fireworks building at 36 Warren Street. The blaze started when a box exploded in the elevator shaft during unloading. Fireworks stock valued at up to 1250000 fueled the flames as crews in relays fought amid heavy smoke and extreme heat. No lives were lost, but surrounding businesses flooded and the building was confined to the Rosenstein structure.

Granniss Indictment Dismissed As Jerome Advice Quoted
The New York case dissolves a four year indictment against Robert A. Granniss former Mutual Life vice president. Justice Page signed the dismissal after District Attorney Whitman and assistant Moss advised it amid questions of improper intent and the non signing of the report by Granniss. The matter referenced Jerome's possible influence on the reconsideration of McCurdy and notes the lingering forgery and perjury counts tied to the same investigation. Howard Gans represented Granniss.
