DRAWING NEAR THE END.
1t was now about halfpast eleven, and mani
testify near the close Of Moulton's examination.
Mr. Tracy, therefore, alter pause, undertook the
dangerous personal task OF compelling the witness
to extricote him Qracy) from the position Of
having ADVISED with General Butler and Moulton
as 10 the disposition OF his statement before the
Church Committee. Herein Is the sore point OF all
win this attorney. 1t Is the attitude Of the plain
tn that Tracy Joined the case, like Moulton, as
mutual friend, worked with Mouiton and Butler
to proven. an exposure, shared the fullest conf
dence OF the con ede rates and gave personal
promise not 10 act as lawyer in any trili which
might arise because 80 entrusted with confidence.
Claiming that he broke that confidence, betrayed
one side to the other and came into the case
unproiessonaily If not dishonora bly,. the plain's
attorneys have savageiy so charged General Tracy,
VINO replied that he had considered his ground
wen, that lie mad always been the defendant
lrie nd alone. and that he would ''answer to his
conscience and his God." He has, however.
shown some senslDility and resentment on the
subject and he Is without the power OF concealing
his feelings. Frank Moulton Is altogether more
nimbe and fuzzy as determined, and he has for
several days forced Tracy into the defence and
put him to clearing himself Tracy's effort yester-
day 10 get cosing victory over the witness was
a failure 80 far as himself was concerned, and the
Judge also turned his countenance against him.
