The Tltusville, Pa, Herald has pub
ished post mortem statement Of Andrew
Tracy, the young lawyer who was hung at
Smithport, Mckee county, Pa, for the murder
OF his cousin, Miss Mary B Reilly, in Sept.
1878. The account makes four columns in
the Herald, and is written in remarkably well
chosen and chaste languages and in itself is
IL VAS prepared during INC lats
ter months of Tracy's incarceration at great
expenditure Of time and labor, and perhaps
lew posthumous statements have ever ap-
peared in more highly attractive form. Tracy
claims that the deed was not murder, but was
nstigated by his intense love for Miss Reilly,
whom he says he could not bear to think of
another. Their love, it seems, was
mutual, but her objections to their marriage
was their near blood relationship, He pays a
beautiful tribute to her memory. The case is
'ne that created the most intense interest
throughout Pennsylvania and western New
York.
