SOMERSET, April 9.-Rev. c. W. Granger,
the spiritual adviser of the executed Nicely
brothers, made public to-day the text of a
confession signed BY Dave Nicely before his
death. 1t is believed also, that Joe Nicely
admitted his guilt before being executed,
but if he did so, the public will not learn
ANYTHING about it for several days yet. The
following is Dawes confession in full:
I. David Nicely, make concerning the murder
of Herman UmberGer, for which L am con-
victed and sentenced to be hanged April 2,
1881. the following statement: l was present
when Herman Umberger was murdered. L
left my home about l o'clock on February q,
1889 to go to some place in Somerset county
for the purpose OF robbery, but not murder.
and did not know who was to be robbed, not
learning Mr.. Umberger's name until well along
on the road the murder took place about
home about l or oclock the next
morning. I had a pistol and fred
into the ceiling, but not with the
Intention of hitting Mr.. Umberser. nor
did any shot fired hit him. l intended only

Hamilton Smiths testimony in the case against

February q, 1889, as he swore. Lew Beener
and Ed McCracKen did not meet me on the
pike as they stated in court. Charles Vaneer
and Lewis Naneer, his son, could not have rec

f5ssIon to Rev. MIR. Beal, who was also pledged
not 10 reveal it until he had delivered certain

question bur what the Nicely boys belonged
