Tracy stated. "I think they planned an operation on him, similar to the one performed on Charles Ream, but he put up a fight and was shot. The union I represent will aid me in my efforts to clear up this crime." Ream, who was kidnapped, chloroformed and mutilated in a glandoperation last fall, said Loeb was one of his abductors and Leopold resembled the other. Tracy was killed by a bullet of the same calibre as a gun found in Loeb's room. It was denotedhowever, that the bullet which killed Tracy had been fitted to Loeb's gun.
