his wife did not sleep soundly and any
noise would awake her. The mystery

with blood, were found sThen at a short
distance they found the trunk In which
Wood kept his money. 1t had been

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.--The Tracy
Tanner assault case was continued, five
witnesses. being examined, among them
Congressman Stewart, who testified as to
the good character of Tracy. He said he
had known Tracy since 1866 as newspa-
per man, as United States marshal dur
ing President Arthur's administration
Mr.. Shellugston the district attorney
|. fatty asked Colonel Stewart if the repu-
tation Of the average Texan for peace
| and order was good.
Colonel Stewart replied, Gas good as
that of the citizens of any state in the
Union. -
Mr.. Shellingston asked if that was the
standard OH which he based Colonel
FracY's reputation.
Colonel Stewart replied that he did not
not know that they had any other stand
ard than that which prevails in any other
civilized community.
Colonel Stewart was asked il he ever
heard of any of the shooting scrapes in
which Colonel Tracy was engaged and
said he had heard of one story of the de-
PENDANT.
The defendant, Colonel Tracy, testi-
fed that the trouble originated from
business matters; that he had been en-
gagged in stock speculations for two years,
and up to that time had been on the best
Of, terms with Tanner and Harmon
He had unfortunately gone be-
yond the money he had on
hand. He had lost all his money except
$500 represented by the contract, and he
went to the office expecting that Tanner
sympathy would lead him to carry wit
ness two or three DAYS. He replied: 81
can t do it.
A witness said that there was something
back of it, that Tanner had not placed
the stock in New York. Tanner said that
he had, and the witness then responded,
you are liar and l can prove it! -
Witness saw hostile demonstration and
he prepared 10 meet it by draw
ing the revolver, and then
struggle took place in which
he was bruised and then everything be-
came confused. The movements were
Simultaneous. Witness only had the
pistol that morning because he was NOV
ing from a room he had from the firm at
Seventh and E streets as his wife was
coming from New York.
Colonel Tracy asked to explain the
shooting scrape in Texas, and said that a
Republican in Texas carried his life in
MS nduuS, lhtlt WhiIe cutting bepuDil-
can paper there he got ross-firiug with
the editor of a Democratic paper and
shots were exchanged but without disaster
to either, Colonel Tracy went on to
state he had lived in Texas thirty years,
mostly engaged III the newspaper bust
ness: had been postmaster, United States
marshal and public printer.
The arguments were entered upon, and
it is expected the case will be given to the
jury tomorrow.
