Pilot Hudson Linchpin in Fairmount Dam Inquest Censure
Reopened inquest into the Fairmount dam disaster of May 5 reaffirms censure of Pilot William D Hudson and assigns censure to the Fairmount Park Steamboat Company. Hudson testified the rope was in bad shape and patched with wire rope after being told by P C Dempsey. Dempsey claimed the rope was older and wired in three weeks prior. Hudson described the moment the rope broke near the dam and that the wheel’s spokes nearly tore from his hand. He said the boat failed to respond to the helm and the bell had been broken earlier. He noted he did not call the engineer to stop the engine and that he missed the first inquest due to a home notice issue.
