Statesville, Feb. 5—Wesley Tuck, negro delivery boy for a local grocery store, died this morning about 9 o’clock as a result of a blow on the head inflicted by his father, Jess Tuck, meat cutter in a local market. The difficulty started over a trivial matter at their home in a negro settlement in North Statesville. The boy’s death followed a few hours later. Jess Tuck was placed in jail on a charge of murder.
