While I stand ready to answer any questions submitted to me with an honest purpose, I do not propose to allow you to occupy my time in the way you started out to do.

In the first reports of the wreck, Lane was blamed by many for not having placed torpedoes on the rails at the hering that he took other precautions to prevent the wreck and that he obeyed every rule of the company, being absolved from any blame.
