Deputy Coroner L. c. Huche. made an
investigation at the scene OF the disaster.
He believes the blame rests on whoever
had charge of the hosting and fastening
of the beams. He says that a. failure to
properly secure one derrick load, caused
the breaking strain TO fall on the crane
The accident was caused by the giving
way of two inch steel cable, which
was used as one of the guys to support
the big crane. This cable was tested To
bear strain of 100 tons, and it is said
that 1t did not break, but pulled loose
from It's fastening,
There were thirty-four men at work on
the superstructure OF the bridge and in the
barge below, from which the beams were
being hosted by tho crane. 115 feet above
the river level, when the boom collapsed,
OF the men who were in the barge some
escaped with their lives by jumping into
the river the moment they heard tho
crash above. Some Of the men on the
supcrstructure who were engaged in
rivetng and handling the bars that were
lifted from the burgc also got off unin-
jured.
Thousands visited the scene OF the dis
aster during the morning, and at lunch
time the wharf was croWfed with men,

workmen on the sunken barge with In
