army retiring- board In Chicago yesterday afternoon showed that the assist
ant paymaster general was physically unfit to remain in the service.
He himself estimated that he was eighty pounds below weight, and the
surgeons, passing over him from head to foot, unexpected weaknesses. He
expressed no surprise and admitted he was probably incapacitated perma
nently. The examiners did not go into the causes of the conditions discov
ered. Such subjects will be left to the entire retiring board, which will not
consider Col. Tucker's case before tomorrow. The medical men wrote a re
port of their findings, which will be delivered sealed to the board when the
case is called for the hearing of evidence.
