whom she shot and killed a week ago
today at her little home on a lonely
road. Mrs Tracey is 26 years old,
pretty and magnetic. From the NOM
ent she took the witness stand she had
the sympathy Of the large crowd of
spectators and after she had recited
her story she was discharged by Judge
Mulvina Of Sherbrooke.
Mrs Tracey was the only witness
who could tell about the shooting, the
only other person present aside from
hel two small children being the man
she killed. According TO her story
Howard came to the house during the
absence OF her husband. No one was
about the premises, the adjacent saw
mill being closed for the day because
OF the absence Of Tracey. As soon as
her husband left Howard came. He
asked her where Tracey had gone and
she replied. AS she did Howard said:
Look there comes Ed now"
She glanced out OF the window and
as she did so Howard threw her to the
floor. After a struggle she escaped. He
again overpowered her and threw her
on the bed. She again escaped and
this time seized loaded shotgun that
was in the corner. Howard rushed at
her again and as he did so she pulled
the trigger. The heavy charge of buck
shot struck him in the side some of
them penetrating his heart. Death
was instantaneous. Mrs Tracey then
tainted. When she recovered she went
to the home Of her father.in-law half a
mile distant and told her story.
a coroner's jury returned verdict
for Mrs Tracey saying she killed How
ard in self defense. 1t was supposed
that this ended the matter but a week
later, Ernest Howard, brother of the
dead man had warrant made out.
The preliminary hearing was brief.
But few witnesses were examined They
testified as to the character OF the
dead man and evidence was introduced
to show that this was not the FIRST time
charges ofassault had been brought
against him. Mrs Tracey was acquit-
ted as soon as the evidence was in.

TO STOP LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Expire" Company Now Ships Liquid Goods
Into Brattleboro

One OF the things which Robert G
Bacon of Windsor county the new Re
publican nominee for states attorney,
will be asked to do will be TO look into
the question whether anything can be
done to prevent the shipment Of liquor
into Brattleboro through the medium
of an express company, by persons
who are not able to dispose of their
wares to Brattleboro customers in any
other way. The vote OF the town
against license is in some measure de-
feated by this express business and it
is the opinion of prominent lawyers
both in Brattleboro and Bellows Falls
that the business can be stopped.
