Vermont judge set to rule on execution appeal this Thursday
A Vermont judge warned against outside influence as he prepares to issue a final decision on a condemned execution. In a separate incident, 75 year old Esther De Young was attacked in her Dudley street home by a footpad at 9:45 p.m. Tuesday, struggling to ward off the assailant who fled after she screamed for help. De Young, who testified in the Tucker case, described the assault and injuries to her back and knee and face as she recounted how the thief tried to seize her handbag containing $9. A neighbor, Mrs. Milliken, aided in stopping the attack. De Young said Tucker had previously sold a revolver for $2 and brought clothing for $10 on March 2 and 26.
