« Third man charged in PlayStation shooting | Today | Photo: Enchanted by a forest of Christmas trees » December 1, 2006One more Station fire document released todayPROVIDENCE -- One additional page of evidence collected during the investigation of The Station nightclub fire was released today. The Attorney General’s Office intended to release the page on Wednesday, when the office released about 3,000 pages of documents in response to a public records request from The Providence Journal and other news outlets, spokesman Michael J. Healey said today. The second page of a state police memo about an interview with the West Warwick town clerk had been inadvertently omitted, Healey said. According to the memo, a tape recorder might not have activated or the West Warwick town clerk may have forgotten to turn it on when brothers Michael A. and Jeffrey A. Derderian appeared before the Town Council on or around March 21, 2000. The Derderians were before the Town Council for the transfer of the dance and live band license at The Station nightclub from the prior owner, Howard Jullian. The tape recording the town clerk had of that meeting began midway through the council meeting, after the item on the agenda when the Derderians addressed the council, according to the memo written by State Police Sgt. Brian K. Casilli to Capt. Steven O’Donnell. According to newspaper accounts and statements made by their attorneys, the Derderians addressed the council and spoke about sound-deafening foam being placed in the club, the memo states. Detectives also spoke with Clayton about a memorandum “that was supplied with Town of West Warwick records” and was “created by or for The Station nightclub.” Dated March 21, 2000, that memo details “that sound dampening measures, including sound retardant insulation, had been employed.” -- projo.com staff writer Kate Bramson The fire began when a band's pyrotechnics ignited the flammable foam surrounding the stage. The fast-moving blaze killed 100 people. Clayton told the state police that the memo was most likely submitted with the dance and live band license application. He told the police he could not recall if the memo was presented at that 2001 council meeting The additional page was released today after The Journal noticed that the memorandum appeared to end mid-sentence and asked about it. -- projo.com staff writer Kate Bramson Posted by Kate Bramson CommentsPost a commentPlease be civil.
