home. Therefore, Smith left a message for Newsim to call
the fire station. Newsum called about 10:30p.m. and Smith
advised him of the detail (Interview of Jack Smith, dated
September 27, 1976).
| Wallace's commanding officer, then Captain R.T.
Johnson, likewise stated that he received a telephone
call fran someone in the personnel department requesting
him to detail Wallace. However, Johnson has no present
recollection of who the individual was that made the
request. (Interview of R.T. Jotmson, Deputy Chief, Memphis
Fire Department, December 21, 1976, App. B.)
Neither Captain Bafty nor former Assistant Chief
Rivalto has any present recollection of the detail of
Wallace or Newsum. Captain Baity indicated that any
district chief could have ordered the men moved (interview
of Janes T. Baity, Septetber 27, 1976, App. B). Also,
former Assistant Chief Rivalto said the fire department
shifted people around all the time when a canpany became
understrength because of sickness, etc. (Interview of
Arthur J. Rivalto, September 27, 1976, App. B).
Similarly, the former Chief of the MFD, Edward A.
Hamilton, has no recollection of the details. He speculated
that the men could have been detailed for a "fill in" to
bring a company up to strength (Interview of Edward A.
Hamilton, September 27, 1976, App. B).
