: The Tltusville, Pa, Herald has pub
ished post mortem statement of Andrey
Tracy, the young lawyer who was hung a
Smithport, Mckee county, Pa, for the murde
of his cousin, Miss Mary B Reilly, in Sep
1878 The account makes four columns i
the Herald, and is written in remarkably WEI
chosen and chaste language, and in itself
, inter resting. It was prepared during the lat
ter months of Tracys incarceration at grea
expenditure of time and labor, and perhap
few posthumous statements have ever az
peared in mere highly attractive form Trac
claims that the deed was not murder, but wa
instigated by his intense love for Miss Reilly
whom he says he could not bear to think c
marrying another Their love, it seems, wa
+ mutual, but her objections to their marriag
was their near blood relationship. He pays
beautiful tribute to her memory. The case
one that created the most intense interes
throughout Pennsylvania and western Me-
York.
