Fire Lieut. Frank J. Linney’s trial on the charges of neglect of duty started on October 26, 1943. Assistant District Attorney Fredrick Doyle said “We are not charging corruption. We are offering to show that the defendant failed to carry out his duties, that his inspection of the Cocoanut Grove premises was not even a perfunctory one, that he failed to note the non-existence of fire doors, or the bolts on panic doors which rendered those doors unusable.” Lieut. Linney was eventually found not guilty and acquitted of the charges against him
