Having reached the conclusion this afternoon that the Building De- partment seemed to have been most derelict of any city department in its methods of inspecting the Washington place factory, in which Saturday's tire horror occurred, Distriet-Attorney Whitman requested Judge O’Sulli- van of General Sessions to have one of the March Grand Juries begin at once an inquiry and carry il over into April, if necessary. | Headed by Foreman William H. Hurst, all of the members of the additional Grand Jury later went before Judge O'Sullivan and presented }a resolution to the court in which the members of the Grand Jury offered their services to the court for any time that might be deemed essential for hearing the evidence bearing upon the disaster. District-Attorney Whitman thanked the members for the tender and |told them that they would, in all probability, be asked to take charge: of | the investigation and would be held in service for that purpose. The resolutions of the Grand Jury were kept secret. As soon as they had been read by the ¢ > foreman returned them to his pocket. It was learned that in th ¢ court the jurors said that if it of their time for the rest of the month, the year, to making a thorough probing of the case. They added that the jurors realized that such disasters in New York rad not been, in the past, properly punished and prosecuted and that they stood ready to make any sacrifice essential to handling the present case. The District-Attorney declared that the Building Department would have to do most of the explaining to account for the strange methods of inspection that permitted certain faults in the construction of the Wash- jington place factory building to continue to exist. There were specific responsibilities for the catastrophe, the District-Attorney thought, that the | Building Department could not shift to the shoulders of any other depart- ment. The gravest defects, the construction of the dcors and the condi- tion of the fire escape, were up to the Building Department.
