Decision Favors Germany in Black Tom Kingsland Fires
Umpire Owen J. Roberts ruled in the German American Mixed Claims Commission that the Black Tom terminal fire in New York and the Kingsland munitions plant blaze in New Jersey were not proven incendiary acts by German agents. The two cases totaling about 40 million dollars were reopened to consider new evidence. The decision supports Germany after the United States sought German culpability amid spy messages and letters. The Kingsland finding suggests the fire may have been an industrial accident rather than a deliberate act linked to German agent Theodore Wozniak.
