Morro Castle Fire Report Expected This Week
Washington reports that spontaneous combustion likely caused the Morro Castle tragedy, not bombs or arson. Dickerson N Hoover, assistant director of the U S bureau of navigation and steamboat inspection, submitted a 117 page formal report to Secretary Panie C Roper. The Justice Department criminal division analyzes the findings for possible negligence grounds while pending criminal proceedings. The report explores ignition in the hold or library locker where inflammable fluids and rags were stored and how the fire spread through the ship.
