On tbe evening of tbe 2Stb of Febru
ary, ISKi, Herman rmberg-r, one f
the wealthiest and tuost widely known
farmers of Somerset county, was br&laliy
murdered in LU own boose in tbe pret
ence of bis wife and iitlie grandchild.
Tbe murderer robbed their tictini cf
ottie JO.0.0 and made good tbeir esL-apa.
The murder wbib wk unprovoked and
inLatzan aent a tb rill of horror tbroagboct
the eolire county and created an excite
ment the lite of bkh bad never been
witnessed within its borders and whica
bat cot subsided to this day. Fear days
after the murder Joseph and Pavil
Nk-ely were arrested at tbeir kocue in tte
Lionier Valley in WesUsurtlaxd coun
ty charged with the ccrun-ishion of this
crime. Tbe following day they weie
given a bearing before Esquire Ranch,
at Jenirtown, who promptly committed
them to tbe owinty jail. Tbe day follow
ing tbeir iniarceralion in jail tbey wete
v:led by their aged father, a farmer of
g-xd reputation and birge rreans.
Three of tbe mct euiiner.t atiorcey's
at tbe Somerset bar were at once retain
ed, and then br-gin one of tbe most le
mttrkabie legal contests that bag eer
taken .ace in this section tf the State.
A writ of Habeas Corpos was soed oat
and the prisoners were tacen bcJbre
Jadge Ber who refused to allow thera
to 1 released on bat! and remanded
theai to jail to await trial at Court; on
tbe "4th of May 15S9 tbey were arraign
ed and plead not guilty ; the trial con
tuoied tbe greater part of fiv days aad
resulted in a Tcrdict cf guilty of ronrder.
A motion for a new trial was speedily
fi'.ed by thir cnr.6l and after beariEg
eibbustive arguments front them wsi
refused by the Court.
Sentence of death was pronouaoed;
ar. appeal was taken to toe Supreme Court
and tlie verdk-t rec lered by tbe jsry
was sustained.
An application for a pardon or orm
rtiDtationof sentence was made to the
Pardon Beard. The matter was given
caiefui consideration ; arguments in be
half of the prisoners w erej patiently 15
ened to and tbe application was refused.
A petition for a'rebearicg was presented,
argument was beard and tbe pj4icatioa
refused.
Vbea tbe Niceljs were frstbrooght
to Somerset tbey were placed iaajail
that w as a disgrat-e to civilization and the
mention of which caused a blush of
diame to msntie th ttk of erery well
thinkicg citizen of tbe county.
On the 17th day of beplember 159
tbey effected antstapeby hootir.gdown
tbe r-pn!y SbtrlJ. Tbey were speedily
recjiptured, and returned to jail. Fcr
moEtbs follow ing a double guard was kept
constantly about tLe prn.
In Septrmber 1S?1, tbe county c:m
lu'tioner srwardel the ontract for
new jail to the Pauley Jail Compumy of
St. Iuis, tbe cotitract prii-e being f2if0,
tJ.
About the middle of October, !?-, the
kevs of tbe completed building were
banded over to tbe county official. Tle
new prUon wai, and possibly if, a source
f pride to tbe entire ccunty, and wts,
and nvsibly is, believed to be one of the
at-tJre and test arranged ootmty
prisons in tbe state.
On ths evening of the 2T'tb of Novem
ber Jcph and David v"caJy,
t October w ith two other ferkw riaoneri,
Jtej-sr-rand Tlumbertscri, escaped from
the new jail w ith as much apparent e
as they would have done from a canvas
tent in an open field. Whether this fact is
due to tbe carelessness of tbe jail officials,
tbe insecurity of tbe prison, either or
both, or neither. r not at this time
prered to sat.
IUviU N'tely was recaptured and re
turned to prison Monday mornicg. Joe
was retaken Tuesday afternoon &d Rei
ser Tuesday evenicf ; Uombertwn is
still at large. .
Foil partknbirs cf tbe trc pe and re
capture follow, together with excellent
portraits of the mutdereri, the'.r Tictim,
and a well executed picture of tbe new
county jil.
Tbe atrw of this town were died with

McCarty told a very interesting story to our

Hnmberson. theEoiwood burglar, sawtd
toe lock off tbe t-ap door tea days ago and
wct npiatothe loft eery day thref.er,
where be could be heard working on the
brick wall. The boy Keiser alwiys stood

that tbe bolts in the combination box bad re

Preparations to leave were at once begun.
The Nicely boys were soon released from
their cells and had bid the saws beneath the
dry closets. When the door of Humbert

jo'ned him. It was almost seven o'clock by
this time, and tbe prisoners were great'y ex

McCarty ssys Joe Nicely asked him to
tske his satchel :t!o bis cell and keep it un

MeCarty did not get away 1, and that
the oid roan would bring him a leUer that
mTT.e sculd pel ar.y meaning out ofexcept'nj
McCarty. He says funberthat it wasagreed
upn among those who were to escape, that
they would met! in a chestnut grove north
of the toll gat on the mountain above
LvaeUlinsJown. and from there Joe was to
condur-t thera to a cave that bad been occu
pied by himself and follow roeues on former
occasions and which be said tbey would find
stocked with o'ankets, provisions and fi re
ams that had been deposited there by
Pave s and bis friends.-
McCarty "s stoiy was told in a straight for
ward manner asd seemed to impress those
who heard it with its truthfulness.
While the Sheriff and bis party were in
the jail (he court house bell was rung by
some of the more exdted ejtiiens. and when
lb Sheriff appeared among lbs cmwd and
a-kei that all of the men present follow him
to the court room, he was accompanied by a
tmall number of the great concourse of pen
pie. ' What's tbe use of re capturing them if
the Governor is neve going to set a day for

b'-ak jil whenever tbry choose?" was beard
onaii sides while the same sentiment ap
peared to be entertained by ninety-nine oat
of every one hundred persons present.

The sheriff announced thai be wonla gira
a reward of t' rr tbe re capture of tbe
Nicely boys, and would pay the expenses of
all the men present who would go in pursuit
of them. John B. Scott, Bq , said he would
add $i"0 to the reward offered by the Sheriff
and John H. riil. Esq . said be woold agree
to girw the seme amount Not exceeding
ten men enlisted in the 8brifTs post), and

Teiegrsms were sent to all of to towns in
Somerset and Westmoreland cost-tir tell

were received asking for partieniars.
Tbere seemed to be no diversity of opinion
in rrgard to the direction tbe Nicely boys
would take, everybody apparently jumping
at the cone; u (ion that they would make for
tb mountains aSore Ligjnier, with which
they are known to be familiar, and where
tbey can be cammnnU-atrd with by thei
relatives. At tb lime of their arrest, it will
