The reports which come from Se attle regarding the chase after Con vict Tracy cause conjecture once more upon the question of whether Convict Merrill, who scaled tho walls of the Salem penitentiary with Tracy was really murdered by the latter or is now in tho vicinity of Seattle and assisting the bunted desperado t es cape from his pursuers. Since the disappearance of Mer rill, Tracy has declared on every pos sible occasion that he has killed his fellow escape, and the fact that no accurate information of Merrill has .been obtainable .sincethe day they warn last seen together near Olym- nla. would lend color to the belief that his story Is true. On the other hand, the pregs dis natation ten nf four saen who are keeping close w -ivy wb everything In their power to render him assistance. One of Oiese jea is believed to be Merrill, but this can not be definitely proven. That Buch is the case seems more than -probable, however, as it 1b more than likely that the most daring of the two men, Tracy, has Bent his companion on ahead to arrange for assistance to be rendered Tracy, while he takes bis present bold course in order to keen tho attention of the officials and the public focus ed on him and allow Merrill practi cal freedom of saovemeat with little dan ear of moleatatioB. evcryoae be ing too busy ia keeping track of Tra- cy to pay aay aueauo 10 uw aboaU of the other coavict.
