Description
F. W. Tucker, the night manager of a service station, testified that the appellant, whom he had never seen before, approached his place of employment on foot after midnight on the night in question and asked for a package of cigarettes, that as he turned to get the cigarettes the appellant took a pistol from under his sport shirt and demanded the money. Tucker stated that he gave the appellant approximately sixty dollars in cash and five packages of Camel cigarettes; that the appellant said, "Lets take a walk," and as they started out the door of the station the appellant looked back momentarily and that he, Tucker, saw his "chance to jump him" and "grabbed him and wrested the gun out of his hand." Tucker said that they scuffled over the gun, and when he finally got it the appellant was lying on the ground in front of the station, that he demanded the return of his money but the appellant refused and started to leave, that he shot the appellant and continued to shoot at him until he emptied the gun as the appellant ran away from the station and into an alley. Tucker stated that he picked up appellants hat, billfold, pocket knife and three packages of Camel cigarettes where they had been scuffling and called the police, that when they arrived some ten minutes later he gave them a description of the appellant, told them that the appellant had been shot and the direction he had traveled in departing. Tucker stated that he identified the appellant later that night at the hospital.
