Doctor says officer
tried to ward off
assailant’s shots
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Patrol
man Stephen Smith tried to fend off
his attacker before he was shot to
death by another officer, a patholog
ist testified Wednesday.
Farrell Tucker, 36, is charged
with murder in the slaying of Smith,
31, his best friend, who was sus
pected of vigilante activities.
Tucker claims he shot Smith five
times last Aug. 18 after Smith threat
ened him with a pistol, but Dr. Vin
cent DiMaio, chief medical examiner
for Bexar County, testified his find
ings are inconsistent with Tucker’s
claim that Smith had a gun.
DiMaio said an autopsy showed
Smith had gunshot residue on the
palm of his right hand, indicating
that Smith probably had placed his
hand along the cylinder of a gun and
tried to push it away.
“The gunshot residue in the palm
of the hand is consistent with a de
fensive move as if to ward off the
gun or grab it,” DiMaio testified.
“The hand had to be virtually in
contact with the weapon when it was
fired,” DiMaio said under cross-ex
amination.
Tucker’s attorney, Terry McDon
ald, asked DiMaio why Smith’s hand
wasn’t injured if Smith was holding
the gun.
“He probably had his hand adja
cent to the cylinder,” DiMaio re
plied.
McDonald also asked if the high
level of lead found on the hand
could have come from any other
source.
“We find levels like that only
when the hand is in contact with the
weapon at the time of discharge,”
DiMaio said.
In a videotape re-enactment of
the shooting, Tucker claimed that
while he and Smith were in Smith’s
car Smith pulled a 9mm weapon on
him. Tucker claimed Smith ordered
him to hand over a .45-caliber semi
automatic pistol he was carrying.
Tucker said after he complied,
Smith turned the .45-caliber pistol
on him and put the 9mm weapon
under the driver’s seat. Tucker
claims he then shot Smith five times
with a second weapon he had
brought to their meeting, a .357-cali
ber Magnum service revolver.
FBI agent Robert Spalding testi
fied earlier that Smith could not
have been holding the .45-caliber
pistol because it had a small amount
of blood spattered on it that came
from a different direction. Spalding
said the blood stains on the .45-cali
ber could only have gotten there if
the weapon were upside clown.
DiMaio, the state’s key witness,
used a mannequin head to indicate
where Smith had been shot and dis-
played to the jury photographs of
Smith’s wounds.
Tucker claims Smith, who was on
suspension on brutality charges,
planned to kill then-Assistant Police
Chief Frank Hoyack* Deputy Chief
Robert Heuck and then-District At
torney Sam Millsap, whom he
blamed for damaging his career.
Smith’s slaying cost two police
chiefs their jobs and sparked a fed
eral investigation into the slaying.
WWI vets will attend
ceremonies in France
FOR I WORTH (AP) — He may
be 96 years old, but Harry Cramer
plans to be on a plane bound for Pa
ris this week to attend ceremonies
honoring him and other World War
I veterans.
Cramer and Elvin Sprague, 89,
both of Fort Worth, are among 19
veterans who were invited to attend
ceremonies commemorating the an
niversary of the U.S. troops’ entry
into the war. Sprague also plans to
attend.
It was on June 17, 1917, that Cen.
John Pershing and the first of the
American Expeditionary Force
landed in France. To the tune of
“Over There,” 2 million more Amer
ican soldiers soon followed.
“We got a wonderful reception —
men and women crying, hugging
and kissing us,” Cramer said, recal
ling what it was like to arrive in Paris
70 years ago.
The ex-doughboys and their
wives arrive Saturday in Paris for a
wreath-laying ceremony at the
French tomb of the unknown soldier
at the Arch of Triumph. Additional
ceremonies and tours are planned
Sunday and Monday, including a
visit to the Belleau Wood Battlefield
with French World Wat I veterans.
U.S. Veterans Administration of
ficials called two weeks ago to offer
the five-day, expense-paid trip,
Cramer’s wife, Bertha, said.
“They called us and said, ‘Would
you like to go?’ ” Mrs. Cramer said.
“Well, actually, they first said, ‘Are
you physically able to go?’ ”
Sprague and Cramer were chosen
for the commemorative trip through
their activity in the Veterans of
World Wat I of the U.S.A., a na
tional veterans service organization.
Sprague is a past national com
mander. Cramer is currently na
tional junior vice commander.
Cramer was a 27-year-old civil en
gineer working for the Pennsylvania
Railroad in Pittsburgh when he vol
unteered in 1917. He spent the war
rebuilding rail lines in France.
Sprague said he actually spent all
his World War I set vice in Texas,
and lie’s wondering now why he
agreed to go overseas at this late
date. “I've just decided I’m crazy,”
he said. “Mv wife thinks so, too.”
