Evidence of President Dow end De-
fendant Conflicting.
Record Special.
Houston, March IB.—The trjal of
Seth E. Tracy, former secretary of the
Houston school board, on the churge of
forgery, consumed the day in the crimi-
nal district court here today.
The interesting feature of the traal
eonsisted in the testimony of Andrew
Dow, former president of the sihool
board, and that of the defendant. The
statements of each were highly eon-
f ict I ng
Mr. Dow stated that Tracy met him
in St Louis and confessed to forgeries
to the amount of nearly $15,000, whieh
Jie said he had lost in cotton specula-
tion. Considerable confusion grew out
of Mr. flow's inability to state which
warrants were forgedland which were
genuine, about forty-two being pre-
sented to him to identify his own sig-
nature.
Tracy denied the forgeries in toto and
the purported confessions to Mr. Dow.
The pertinent points of his testmony
were to the effect that the meeting
with Mr. Dow in 81. loouix was at Mr.
Dow’s instigation, and that in view of
the tangled condition of the school af-
fairs at that time he suggested that
Tracy resign and take the blame there-
for in a note to the school board.
He then stated that Mr. Dow suggested
that he get out of the way to which
he replied that he would go to Wash-
ington, where Mr. Dow or anyone else
could find him, and he would not take
the blame for the condition of the
school affairs. During his residence in
Washington, he stated, he did not try
to secrete himself or his Identity in any
way, and intended to return to Houston
when he was arrested. Evidence was
completed tonight ana arguments will

ence at the company’s offices today.
It was said that plans to dissolve the
company and return the railroad stock
to the original holders was discussed

much as Mr. Hill declined to mak any
statement. He did say. however, that
the general situation was unchanged
He refused to discuss any of the re-

Lawyers representing the various in-

Hill and other officers until late in the
day. Later Mr, HIB said:

court. Nothing can be done until we
receive it. I would like to say, however,

the judgment of the court.
“We have not any definite plan or
plana under consideration. There has
been altogether too much guess work by
outsiders. They have tried to make a
mountain out of mole hill and there la
