Tompa told me a story about a "run in" with Bonnie and Clyde Barrow. Tompa and Granny had been riding in their car and had stopped in a small town near Waco named West, TX. Tompa had gone into a store but noticed a man looking at him. He and Granny went on their way down the rode, but noticed that a car was following them. Soon the car came up beside them, and a man was standing on the running board and was holding a gun.
The man looked at Tompa and Granny for a few moments then got back into the car, and it turned away. Tompa said that the gunman must have thought that they were someone else. He believed it was the Bonnie and Clyde Barrow gang because he heard the next day that they were in the area and had shot a man.
