Indictment Seeks Billions in 9000 Counts in US History
Newark July 11 AP A massive indictment with 9000 counts targets Kilgore Manufacturing Co of Newark Ohio in a 1950 South Amboy New Jersey munitions blast that killed 31 and caused 10 million dollars in damage. If convicted on all counts the firm could face 9 to 90 million dollars in fines based on violations of ICC packing rules. Assistant U S Attorney Joseph B Schwartz said the 9000 counts set a record in New Jersey and perhaps the nation. The indictment alleges ICC violations by packing detonators with munitions in the same case. The case notes that 9000 cases in 10 freight cars exploded during transfer to barges for shipment overseas. He cited potential fines of 1000 dollars per count or 10000 per count if bodily harm or death resulted, though he did not specify the basis for the government’s case.
