City Eyes Potential Appeal In Fireman Case
Bluefield city leaders discuss possible appeals after Fireman Jim Lindamood was fired for conduct unbecoming a city firefighter. The Firemen's Civil Service Commission overruled the firing and ordered Lindamood reinstated with back pay suspended until Feb 1 1964. Mayor Henry Warden and City Manager Randolph G Whittle urge further pursuit of legal avenues based on new leads. City Attorney Phil Lilly notes slim chances but is tied up with another reinstatement case in federal court.
