All wilnesss in the case weretiieti discharged, and the I'istriil Attorney moved for immediate sentence. The defendants were then asked if they had anything to say before sentence was passed. Lewis rose t his feet and sid tiiat himself and Taker had Is-i-n f.r.vd to trial when they were not ready, tn I that they had no chance to make a defense ;:!.at ihe I'istrict AHoniey had j r- j j ie-e l tin-ircase by improer det la rmi -ns .na ie alsjiit the Simerset county .it: .'it. a I. .pie against whom he had 10 will; he said the ab- S.-L.1- of Netl.e suliivan had prev"n,e'1 ,' 1 i-n-lfalid TasLer from going on the un ! and op'.aining their whereabouts, j lu her a. iice. it was useless for them h. .(, tl the stand, and he hoped the j curt would take all the circumstancea into consideration.

As to the omneetiou of tluse defen iaati with the crime, ilr. I'.io K er said : Xext dar afier th; ccrred, or thuf night, ti rtiiin seutl.-men started to ec-e if tlitrs might possibly be any tra-'s S-ir-g away. iVn will try to ai.ow yon that theie were two trac'u cuuiinj; thi way from the Westmoreland liUle. down this way to a po.ut leiow tb' IIayn church, w here they went into the Slds and then across the meadows down tie low Jennertown to within half a mile of Jencertown, and within a n.ile and a half of where Uniberger lived. Umbei irer'a house ii by the road, and there a knob or hill above, where one can e both waya and all around Uiiibcrjrer' profrty, np and down tha rail. We will try to show that the naaio tracks that came np the mountain came down thia itide of the mountain, and that they went into the wooiLi above Uiuberjcr's hoiwe. We u ill ahow this by the con dition of the snow, indicating that thtre were jiersons walking around there; leav ing Kme sacks to sho that they had takrn a lunch there. We will ehow yu that the same tracks that w ent into those woods, sfter wards came out ami startcl towards Cniberger's, and that they were the same tracks that came aenws the mountain. We w ill attempt to show yon that the men who made those tracks were the men who committed this murdorand mlliery ; we will sho you that one of the defendants whom you have on trial here to-day, was seen leaving I.igonier on the day of the murder; we will siiow you by several witnesses that both of thes lefendanta, were met on the oth- er side of the mountain, coining this j wVj i9ltf , the afternoon, within a mile i or ,'W() 0f Somerset countv line, and that they wore walking very fast. We will show you that theie two !e- fondants, that we have arraigned here, were seen at the Haynes chun-h, three j or foor mill!i ,!uwn thi way from tlietop , of ,c ni(,lin,a;nj a,nt imr miles from Jennertown, and six miles from I'mber ger's ; we will show you that two in"n looking like these ptisseJ down tlist val- 1 lev that same evening. From tliesa facts, and from a compari son of the boots or shoes these men bad on, w e w ill try to show you that these are the m" 11 who were there that night. In addition to that we will put on the stand Misa Ella Steam, the hired pirl that was there that night, who stood by the door leading from the dining-room to the parlor w hile one of these parties steKsl there talking to her asked him what was the matter and sympathized with him; he paying that he hud been thrown out of the binary and hurt and having his face tied up. She was only the width of the door from hint all the time the investigation was going on by the other man. Ella Steam w ill come upon the witm.-ss stand and absolutely identify them ; she will swear that the two defendants ar raigned heie are the men who were there that night. She will )xiLive!y idenlify them Irotn the clothes they won, their voices and other circum stances, Mrs. Fmberger will bear out Eila Steam in testifying to the same fact that these are the two men and her little grin.i-dal.;hter, Nannie Horner, will cornjls.n.te tho oloer two witnesoes as to their identity. These men, whoever they were, net only took Mr. I'mberger's life but carried o:r his money taking all he had, a sum amounting to from $1.,IKX) to 30J0. If we can show yoti these facts, as I btlieve we can, with s great many others that I have not time to detail to you now we shall ask yon to convict the defend ant! in the manner and form as they stand indicted.

The Knights of the Golden Eaijle, led hy the Farmers land, came next; they marched weil and pre sented a very handsome and attractive. apfiearance ; the only thing that marred their line was the fact that many mem bers were not in complete uniform. The column moved down Main Cross i street to the IMamond, thence Weston Main street to West" street, then along West street to ti.e Lutheran Cemetery. The decoration ceremonies were oj.cn ed by Pout Commander tieorg" H. Ia.ve; the band played a dirge and Rev. J. F. Shearer made an appropriate, patriotic and ehspient prayer ; parts of the beau tiful memorial service of the Irand Army of the liepublic were recited by Messrs. C. J. Harrison, A. C. Iavis, W. H. Sau ner and Oliver Kn?pper; the graves were then strewn with (lowers and Rev. John H. Ztnn, of Centreville, pronounced a benediction. The pnres.ion was then reformed and moved to the Reformed cemetery, where the soldier's graves were decorated; after which it marched to Union street and was disu.if.-ed. I How Can They Beat Us ?
