Sadlor stated further that ho bolioved
his cook to bo in collusion with some

by tlio mysterious visits of a colored

Tlio trial of Colonel Jnines 0. Tracy,
ohm-grid' with' assault to kill, wns re
resumed this morning. Yosturdny Cap
tain John 11. . Tanner tcstllled Hint on
July 111 last Tracy camo Into tho olllce
whoro ho conducts a banking and bro
kcrngo business. Tracy owed Tanner
some $300, nml when ho camo In said:
"How about that settlement?"
Tamior replied that that was for him
to say. .
"Well. I'll seltlo It now." Hald Trncv.
drawing a pistol and firing.
When ho saw tlio glint on tho pistol ho
dodged. Tho shot passed ills head,
leaving powder marks on his oar. They
clinched, and a second shot was flrcd
during tho struggle without effect. Ho
throw" Tracy over a chair, and ills part
ner, Itnrmdn, camo In and disarmed him.
Judgo Gates, wiio nppearB as Tracey's
counsel, asked a number of questions in
cross-uxnmlmitioii us to tho character of
the business conducted there, lie de
nied that It was otherwise than a legiti
mate banking mid brokerage business.
Ho stnted that ho had been in tlio War
Department linddr Secretary llolknap.
A question 'as to why he lett that olllco
was objected to nnd overruled.
Tanner's partner, John H. Ilnrmon,
tcstllled this morning that during tho
day n telegraph boy had warned him
that Trnccy was armed. lie heard the
shot, and when Tanner- called ho went
into tho room.
Harmon stated that befovo they made
tho contracts with Tracy, produced in
court, ho had $117 to his credit. On tho
night of Juno 12 ho owed $150, and prior
to ills visit on tho day ot tho l'Jtli ho
owed $150 more. On cross-examination
Colonel Yates commenced inquiry ns to
the eh'aractor of tlio bustnoss carried on
there. When nskoJ by tlio Court
whether ho considered this lino of inves-.
tlgatlon relevant Colonel Yates Inquired
whether It would not affect tho credibil
ity of tho witness if ho should show that
this was. a bogus tlrm; that thoy hadn't a
dollar of credit in Now York or Phila
delphia; that it wns a mushroom busi
ness in which thoy attempted to mnko it
nppenr to tho public that they had money
to their credit in tlio market, nnd it
turned out that thoy didn't hnvo any
thing, but bad simply squatted do;n lu
a place to sell margins when they hn'dn't
anything.
Judgo' Montgomery held that tho jury
had nothing, to do with llio merits of thu
quarrel and excluded the question.
Jnmcs O'Dowd. tlio telegraph operator
In tho office, testified to tho occurrences
ill tho olllce. Ho did not hear the Ho
passed; heard nono of tbq conversation.
Oillcer J. N. Salkeld testified that when
ho arrested Tracy. tho latter said that
thoy had swindled nnd assaulted him.
Ho expressed a wish that ho had "killed
tlio s ."
Officer Loftus .testified that Tracy
asked them not to put tho handcuffs on
him, nnd said they had no right to arrest
him, as ho .had do no nothing. Ho cor

Representative Stewart statod that
Tracy's general reputation was good for
being an amiable, peaceable man. Tracy
had been United States Marshal in tho
district In which tho witness lived.
"Mr. Stewart," said Mr. Shllltnpton.
"Is tho reputation of tho average Texan
for pcaco and order good?"
"As good as in any other Stnto In this
Union."
"Is that the standard upon which you
baso your conclusions as to Colonel
Tracy's reputation?"
"I don't know that wo havo any dif
ferent standing thcio from what wo havo
hero or iu any other civilized com
munity." "Did you over hear of any shooting
scrapes lie had dono there?"
"I henrd of one."
"That is all."

Colonel Tracy then took the stand.
His iron-gray hair was quite long, and iu
his general appoaranco there ,was a
rcininisconco of Toxnn plcturcsquoness.
His face showed tho lines that como with
misfortune
'What caused tho difficulty with Cap
tain Tanner?" asked Judgo Yates.
"I had been doing business with Can
tain Tanner for somo two years," said
tlio witness. "Up to then thero was not
tho slightest unkind feeling, that I know.
I had been engaged In stock speculation,
and bad lo3t quite an amount. I had
reatized on somo property I had tn Texas.
Evory dollar that is on tlioso contracts
was put up by mo nearly $800. Holying
on tho good feeling, when I was called
for $200 on margins I naked them to
tolograph tho firm and nsk them to carry
them for me for two or threo days. They
sont'word that thoy could not carry thorn.
I lost all my monoy oxceptwhat was rep
resented by these contracts. I thought
If I could carry it for a fow days I might
savo the remains. larmon said thnt ho
couldn't afford to carry them. Thon I
told him I know what I could do. Ho
snld, 'What aro you going to do?' I
went out and attempted to raise the
money, but couldn't do It. I returned,
and saw Captain Tanner passing into his
office. I appealed to him. I had boon
nioro friendly with him than tho other
partner. Ilo said that ho couldn't
do It. I said, 'Why, Captain, cau't
you?
You don't doubt my credit or my

rou haven't placed my monoy In Now

"Ho said," continued Colonel Tracy,
"that ho had placed It, and I oxclaimo'd,
'You aro a liar, audi can provo it.' I
saw a hostilo demonstration on his fncu
and drew the revolver, I was bruised
from my nuklo to my hip. Everything
after tills was confused. It was nil ox
cltonient and what I may havo said was
without thought and without moanlnc."
Tho witness explained his possession of
his pistol by saying ihat ho had nut
It in his pocket for tho putposo of taking
it from his rooms to hit house. Ho
thought that if ho pulled It out and
showod Tanner that ho was armed Tan
ner would lot him nlono.
"I suppose thoy havo mado out of

Judgo Y'ntos' question, "at least twolvo

The Court of Inquiry Ilciirr the Testi
mony nf an Jlxpwrt Sntindm'.
Tho Court of Inquiry, appointed to in
vestigate tho aqueduct scandal, met this
morning nt 10:110 o'clock in room 51,
north corridor of the War Department.
Tho court was called to order-by Geiierid
Hugor, nnd Mr. A. J. Sparrow, tho ex
pert sounder, wns sworn nnd placed on
tho witness stand. Mr. Sparrow Is a man
about 00 yours of aco, witti head of very
whito hair and gray whiskers;, n pair of
gold-rimmed spectacles resting on his
sharp-pointed nose gavo him u distin
guished look. Ho was attired in a suit
of black clothes.
Ho read Ids testimony from closely
written copy. According to his examina
tion of tho Chnmplain avonuo shaft, east
and west, tho masonry over tbo key was
anything but good. Holes wcro cut
whoio tbo sounding indicated n cavity,
and all through tho tunnel, n short dis
tance apart, cavities wore discovered of
various sizes. In most places Mr. Spar
row went into tlio cavities and traced
them for a nuinbor of feet.
Ills description of tbo cavities was very
iniuuto nnd showed thnt the workmen
Who testified about tbo bad masonry and
loose packing know what they wcro talk
ing about. Nearly all the soundings
mado indicated cavities which wero re
vealed when tho key of tho areli was
cut.
Tho testimony of Mr. Sparrow, in sub
stance, substantiates tho (statements
mado by provious witnesses. It appears
that almost tho outiro work on the tumiol
is bad, and a great portion of it will havo
to bo dono over again. If tho testimony
of tho Congressional experts agree with
Mr. Sparrow thoro is a slight possibility
that Congress may order tho abandon
ment of tho tunnel and provide for u
surface conduit.
