The Tltusville, Pa, Herald has pub
ished post mortem statement of Andrew
Tracy, the young lawyer who was hung at
0AAA'aPOAes A'ASAASS ~ouusJ3 ~, AVA sAS AoA~SA
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 chasto language, and in itself is
interesting. It was prepared during the lat:
ter months of Tracy's Incarceration at great
expenditure of time and labor, and perhaps
few posthumous statements have ever ap-
pearcd in mere highly attractive form. Tracy
claims that the deed was not murder, but was
instigated by his intense love for Miss Reilly,
whom he says he could not bear to think Of
marrying another. Their love, it seems, was
mutual, but her objections to their marriage
was their near blood relationship. He pays
beautiful tribute to her memory. The case is
one that created the most intense interest
throughout Pennsylvania and western New
York.
