Gibbs Charges Building Inspector in Fire Escape Case
William Henry White attacked Building Inspector Snowden Ashford before the Commissioners in the Gibbs Ashford case, accusing him of conflicting interests with a patented fire escape and promoting it over other makes. White alleged Ashford held patents, offered local rights to Baltimore firms, and tried to connect Gibbs with a former employee to sell district information, while citing unclear approvals from Capt. Biddle and Capt. Hur.
