The victim said “Jimmy’s”
companions included a man
in his sixties whom the oth-
ers called “Pop” and a third
man who had been introduc-
ed to Mr. Tucker only as the
“high boss.” “Pop” reportedly
was suffering from some kind
of palsy.
Mr. Tucker 'related this
story to Examiner reporters
Sunday:
At about 7 p.m. Saturday,
“Jimmy” and his two com-
panions came to Mr. Tucker’s
apartment on South LaSalle
Avenue and offered to buy his
late model station wagon,
provided they were pleased
after a "road test.”
With the alleged "buyer”
behind the wheel, Mr. Tucker
and a second man drove to a
dirt road near Yarboro Lake
on Highway 105, about eight
miles northeast of Navasota.
