CAUSED BY HEAT FROM fLooDLldHT.
Important Testimony at the Investigation By
the Coroner.

Chicago Especially = Fire Inspector
Monroe Fulkerson renewed his investi
CATION into the causes Of the disaster
Two stage hands were questioned fol
two hours Then w. A. Merriam, man,
ager for the George A. Fuller Construc.
ton Company, builders of the theater
was called into the Office The company:
attorney was with him.
William McMullen, manager of the
spot light, which is alleged to have
caused the fire in the Iroquois Theater
testified before the investigation hearing
that the spot light had nothing to do with
it.
He said the fire was caused by the
heat from the foodlight used to flood
the theater
McMullen said his floodlight was
turned out when the fire started He
said he was looking at the fioodlight and
saw the finnsy border blow directly over
the floodlight.
The heat from this light, he alleges,
caused the fire.
The city electrician followed with tes-
timony that the heat from the floodlight
was sufficient to cause the fire.
McMullen is considered by the police
to be one of the most important wit
nesses. He was in charge of the spot
light which set fire to the scenery and re-
suited in the large loss of life.
James J. Hamilton scenery shifter,
explained what seemed to many at the
fire to be an explosion.
Five minutes after the fire started,
said he, the big set piece in the shape
of fan used as finale in the second
act fell 40 feet to the stage. The piece
was studded with $50 incandescent lamps
and weighed several hundred pounds
The noise of its fall and the breaking
lamps gave forth the sound of an explo-
sion"
Hamilton said he was in the stage
hands room below the stage when
sonS sse came downstairs, saying:
Come upstairs quietly. There's a
fire up there"
when / reached the stage" said
Hamilton, the fire curtain was COM
ing down very slowly. stepped un-
der it and joined others in urging the
audience to keep quiet. The curtain
should have dropped quickly. and |
was surprised to see it stick. | stayed
on the stage until my clothing was
scorched. When l first came up, the
orchestra was playing, and the dou-
bic octet was singing, with sparks
falling all around them. Not must
clan nor player moved until it was a
matter OF life and DEATH"
Hamilton denied that it was the Gus
tom to have the cables controlling the
ventilators above the stage blocked so
as 10 make it impossible to open the
xentilators.
The ventilators were opened, be-
lieve. at every performance" he said.
MANY times the draft from them was
so strong that it was uncomfortably
cool on the stage"
Coroner Traeger has learned that
each OF the 1870 drop scenes in the the
alter was hung with new, oily. manila
rope. 1t is estimated that there were
$4,000 lineal feet of this infammable
material used in supporting the drop
scenes and that it added fuel to the
flames in the rigging loft.
