Fire Chief Musham Defends Role In Theatre Fire
Chicago January 15 Fire Chief Musham testified at the coroner s jury that he had nothing to do with the Iroquois Theatre fire blaming the building department and the fireman Saller for reporting lapses. He said he would have encroached on the building department s duties by insisting on sprinklers and apparatus and that he had no authority to enforce theatre ordinances. He noted many city fires in November kept him busy and that no prior reports on the Iroquois were received or written to superiors. He admitted uncertainty over notification requirements and claimed the law only required his approval and that the building commissioner should act.
