stopped their car near the

• the scenes of their courtship
when the bandit appeared. At
the point of a pistol he forced
Tucker to get out of the car.
Tucker submitted tamely, but
said he did ’not have any
money.
• Then the bandit called him a
dirty so-and-^o, and Tucker
struck out with his fists. The
bandit fired twice. Mrs. Tuck-
er ran to the aid of her hus-
band,. and they knocked the
bandit out.
They left him lying beside
the road, and Mrs. Tucker
* drove her wounded husband to
a hospital where he suggested
today nobody could call him a
so-and-so. especially in the
presence of his wife, and get
away with it.'

writing for himself under the name

It #as under that name he mar-
ried the Texas girl, police say. .
Mrs. Peppin No. 1, said that
shortly after their marriage here
they moved to Springfield, Mo.,
where Pippin took a correspon-
dence course from the seminary
extension course, at Seminary Hill,
Texas., He passed his examlna^
