Interesting Talk with ~. koos-
er, Esq.
HE IS FULLY SATISFIED THAT ONLY JUSTICE
WAS DONE.

Asis we'll known, the burden OF the pros
ecution in the Umberger murder case has
rested upon the shoulders Of +. J. Kooser,
Esq, and realizing that the public would
like to hear his impressions OF the case,
since the sentence of the law has been exc
cuied, a HERALD reporter monopolized as
much Of his time as he was able to accord
him Monday forenoon.
Mr.. Kooser was found in his Office look
ing up authorities on the Jurisdiction of
Notanes Public" when our reporter entered
and put the following questions to him:
" Mr. Kooser have you anything you de-
sire to say, or are willing to say, on the Nice
ly case?'
Nothing, excep, that its result was the
conviction and execution of the proper par
ties. But its result has been unsatisfactory
to me in this--thst it has failed TO discover
where any of the stolen money is TO be
found. An important duty upon me in the
case was to find trace Of the money for the
Umberger estate, If / could

Elder c. W. Granger and others

The following confession was made by
David Nicely to Elder c. w. Granger,
on Wednesday, April ], 1891. The state
ment was reduced TO writing, word foI
word, as it fell from the lips of the
condemned man, who apparently realiz-
ed for the first time since his arrest and
incarceration more than two years ago,
that all chance Of escaping the gallows
was gone, and that within a few briel
hours he would have to pay with his
life the penalty of his appalling crime
and stand in the presence of Him who
knoweth all things.
He affixed bis signature to the docu-
ment in a firm, bold hand, and appeared
as though a heavy burden had been
lifted from his shoulders. That he would
have made more full and complete
confession Of the foul crime, had he not
been restrained by others stronger than
ne, there can be no doubt.
Shortly after making and signing the
above statement he was immersed by
Elder Granger.
Although frequently questioned as to
his guilt, he never, after his immersion,
denied it, but, if possible, evaded the
question. To few persons he acknowl-
edged it. BY this confession the
guilt Of both Joseph and David Nicely is
established beyond cavil. The abuse
heaped upon the HERALD by interested
parties who for two years and more have
been accusing it Of pursuing innocent
men, has recoiled upon its accusers,
and its fearless course has been fully
vindicated

Dave Nicely's Wife.

SHE DIsPosEs OF HIS PERSONAL EFFECTS AND
GOES TO OHIO.
Mrs. Kate Nicely, wife of Dave, last Satur-
day disposed of all her personal effects, and
Tuesday, with her children, left for Ohio,
where she expects to make her future home.
While waiting at the station at Ligonier,
and just prior to stepping upon the train,
she drew from her pocket handkerchief
and waving il at the crowd who had come to
see her off, as a parting salutation said /:
Farewell to Ligonier and her people for
ever. | hope | shall never see any of you
again" She and her three children then en-
tered the car, and in few seconds were
spinning down the valley at the rate of 80
miles an hour.
She left without visiting her husband,
and refused to tell in what part of Ohio she
expected to locate.

Insanity and the Experts.

Frpm the Pittsburgh Times.
Joseph Nicely's capital feat Of shamming
as means of escaping capital punishment
was rude blow to popular faith in insanity
experts. Another man suspected of trying
the same trick to escape the same punish
ment is Stephani, the New Yorker, who has
been on trial for the murder of a lawyer.
One expert testified that Stephani was insane
when he committed the crime, but sham
ming when visited BY the commission in
lunacy. He was still insane, but it is a
common thing for luuatics to pretend that
they are more insane than they actually are.
Another expert testified that his insanity
was adolescent, but without moral mania.
He did not know that it was wrong to kill
the lawyer, and therefore was not responsible
for the deed. But after the excitement OF
arrest and the chaing of imprisonment had
added to his mental disorder, he was capable
of knowing that if he could make himself
out much more insane than he was, he
might escape the consequences of the deed.
Comparing what is reported of this case with
what has been of Joseph Nicely's one is Just
ifiable in believing that if these New York
experts had gone to Somerset they would
have come away with the conviction that
he was hopelessly out of his mind.

or two afterwards that be commenced

Another thing, said the Sheriff. with
hearty laugh. II received letter from the
eastern part Of the State, in which the writer
said there was insanity in bis family. and
he understood that if a piece of a rope with
which man had been. hung was kept in
the house, none OF the family would ever
be subject 10 the disease. think I'll have
to write and tell him that the rope cured
Joefs insanity, anyhow. There seems to be
a great many superstitions regarding the
physical benefits to be derived by the appli-
cation of ropes like these. People think
they will cure all sorts of diseases and
chronic ailments

Another Expert.

The following extract taken from the
Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph is part of
dispatch sent from Somerset about noon,
Wednesday, April 1st shortly after the re-
porter, Mr.. Moore had visited the county
jail in company with Gen. Koontz
Gen. Coffroth, one of the attorneys for
the Nioelys, still hopes for a reprieve. Said
he: "Since the days of Henry VIII. there
has been a common law against hanging an
insane man, and cannot think Governor
Pattison would permit such an execution to
go on. 1t would be an outrage and stain
on civilization" Gen. Cofroth sent long
personal appeal to the Governor last night,
and the wires between here and Harrisburg
are hot with messages asking for Joe's re-
prieve.
Gen. Koontz, the other attorney for the
Nicelys, still maintains that they are inno-
cent, and says the evidence did not warrant
conviction.
Mr.. Moore says in another part of his
dispatch, ''if he Joel is not insane, never
saw a crazy man."

The Dead Sons at Home.
THEIR MOTHER REPORTED TO BE INSANE.

THEIR MOTHER REPORTED TO BE INSANE.
One hour after David and Joseph
Nicely had been pronounced dead by
the physicians in attendance at the exc
cution, undertaken Lowry, who had wit
messed the execution al the request of
the father, started ever the mountain to
Ligonier with the bodies Of the murder
ers of farmer Umberger. The great
crowd who witnessed the departure of
the undertaker's wagon drew long
breath Of relief and expressed the hope
that Somerset county would never again
be called upon to have legal execution
within her borders.
The necessarily slow journey from
Somerset to Ligonier was without any
incidents worthy Of note. After drive
Of eight hours over. hills and through
valleys, amid continuous pour of rain,
undertaken Lowry reached Ligonier at
ii o'clock, and, going directly to his
morgue, the collins were taken from the
mud hespattered wagon and taken into
the undertaking rooms, where in waiting
was the family of the dead brothers,
who, upon behOlding the coffins contain
ing the dead bodies of their loved ones,
burst forth into paroxysms of grief and
refused to be comforted. They were then
taken into the morgue and the under
taker at once took them from the collins
provided by the authorities of Somerset
county and prepared them for burial.
after which they were placed in hand
some caskets ordered by their father.
The coftins were again placed In the
wa. .on and at four o'clock Friday morning
undertaken Lowry started for old man
Nicely's, where upon his arrival he wit
messed scene that will ever remain
Indelibly impressed upon his memory.
As soon as the coffins were taken into
the house old Mrs. Nicely broke down
and is completely prostrated, her reason
being dethroned, and DIR. Beltz. the at
tending physician, has grave apprehen-
sions lest she never becomes rational
