It Is a fact Chat Tracy, so far tia Is known, has not been aeen alnce hla tlijrht from the vicinity of Ilenton. Public Inter cut In the Kenton escapade shows no slirn of decrenalnu. In the excitement following Tracy's fllpht through the wooda, one Important Item was over looked. He t.i',1 mi May Baiter at Oerrell'r thmt 'his real najne was Har ry Sevvejre and that Tracy wtui hla criminal nom de plume. Whether the murderer was apeaklng the truth Is a matter nt speculation. QUESTIONS HIS SANITY. In connection with the Renton fias co, Tracy's sanity Is questioned by a large number of neople. Anderson' statement concerning the murderer's four friends who met 'him 1s conclu sive. With 'this outside help, Tracy'a entrance to Gerrell's home becomes In- explafnable. was ntvt hungry. Nothlnic that he did or secured at the house could be of excuse for hla care lessness. He saw a train go pnt with tho armed deputies, but made no ef fort to escape, though ho had itie op portunity. Again the fact thnt he had sent a strange bov i II the watches ami buy ft revolver, looks queer. If he had really desired a weapon, the safest way toj get It was from his friends. In addition to the watches, Tracy swve young Gerrell $9, evry cent he had, and when the boy took his de parture, the whole matter, the money watches and revolvers, seemed to have slipped from tvla memory. lTom what ever side Tracy'a visit to the Gerrell home Is, It seems fallacy or a disor dered brain. It was neither reason nor necessity. Only explanation to be given Is that the outlaw la not In his right mind, that hit mind la over balanced from ' the mental strain he tns l)pn under 'h.!l proved too much for lila Iron nerve and that he has crossed the lrivUUlj line between saii i'ty and Insanity. r.R.IKVK I IK HAS M Kit KIM,.
