FLEtDIIli FOR THE KICELYS,
Th Govwrnor Confrontad With an
Impersonal Appeal not to Sign
tha Death Warrant of the
Condemned Murderer.
HiaaisBi BO, Pa, Jan. 9. Attorney for
the Nicely brothers appeared befe-re Gov.
Beaver to-day and appealed to him to with
hold his signature from the death warrant.
The attoraeys who appeared were ex-Judge
Hunter, of Westmoreland county, ex-Con
gressmen KoonU and Co (Troth, of Somerset,
S. J. MeCarrell, Lyman I. Gilbert, of this
city. John L. Butler, of thi city, also talk
en to tbe Governor on some point be bad
gathered In Somerset ooun'.y.
Some Intereattng points were developed
from the arguments, wbicb lasted from 10 a.
m. ontil 2 p. m. Gen. Coffrotb, among oth
er thing, declared .that the attorney for the
Nicely were not working for monsy ; that if
they had depended on their fee tbey would
bave starved long ago. He declared that
tbey believed tbe condemned innocent, and
that tbeir labor was therefore one of mercy.
He also said be understood that tbe attorneys
for the defense were to be rewarded by a di
vision of tbe money of wbicb the murdered
Umberger was robbed, if er found, and be
intimated that be would not do anything of
that kind, if be bad the chauce.
a wtsTAt or Jiaoas.
Gen. Coffrolh Coffrotb. bad it from one of
tbe jurors in tbe case that the jury had paid
little attention to tbe witnesses from West
moreland county by whom it was sought to
establish in alibi for the Nicely, their re
on being that tbey didn't know anything
(bout their character or credibility, while
tbey knw the witnesses against the brothers
to be good people.
Gen. Koanu talked in much the same
strain and impressed it on tbeGovenior that
I'mherfier bad drawn bis money from the
bank for the purpose cf dividing it before his
death among bis collateral heirs, be having
no children. Hi wife, however, had Un
married to a mu named Horner before l er
marriage lo I'mberger and had ehildrt-n and
the General wanted the Governor to under-
stand that tbe Horner children of Mrs. Um
berger would naturally prefer some other
distribution of the money than rniberjrer
tu about to make. Indeed, Gen. Kooutz
Ihonght it rather strange that a grandson of
Mrs. I'mberger, who resided with her should
bave been absent from home on the night of
the murder, and that the only explanation
ever given was that he bad gone to the store
for the evening.
FWCanSO CHAB.SS OF EKKOK.
The two Somerset attorney reviewed the
entire evidence in tbe case and agreed that the
Somerset Court had erred, that tbe Supreme
Court bad erred seriously, tid that tbe Par
don Board bad be?n roost unfair in requir
ing them to absolutely prove tbe innocence
of tbeir clients. If the story they tell is
true, the innocence of tbe condemned men
has been transparent throughout, and they
have been most unjustly treated by all
triounals.
Mr. Butler was impressed that one " Col. "
Hamilton, who bad tirst been accused and
released on proving an alibi, was tbe right
man, and be so informed the Governor.
Hamilton be de&cribed as a bad man gener
ally, who had " done time " both before and
ince tbe murder, aad who, wuen arsted
on suspicion, was found with a go.d waieh,
gold e'oin, and a revolver under his pillow,
and the legend above the door, " Lealh to
ail who enter here."
JuJjte Hunter told the Governor ahout
the good character of the Westmoreland
a itnesse ip favor of tlte Nicelys.
XOT a PERIORAL kfTHL.
Messrs. MeCarrell and Gilbert argued to
tbe Governor that he bad a perfect right to
withhold his signature 'from the death war
rant and that it would not be turning over
an unpleasant duty to his successor, for they
appealed not to him personally, but to the
Governor of Pennsylvania, whose office is
continuous. Gov. Beaver did not say at the
conclusion ol the arguments what his decis
ion would be, though be intimated that the
pressure brought against the Nicelys was of
tuch a character a to possibly make him do
what be did not want to do.
Toe above article appeared in tbe PitU
bur t'oMHterrtuf ijirUt Saturday and waa
reported by a special representative, who
reported tbe case at the time of the
trial. Oar readers, who are familiar
with every detail of the case and with the
' shady " after -discovered evidence that has
bren secured and laid before tbe Board of
Pardons, will read it with feelings of mingled
amusement and indignation. Amused at
tbe philanthropic position taken by counsel
for the condemned men, and iadignani rt
the unjustified insinuations thrown out.
Tbe UtuLD in it capacity as a chronic ler
of public sentiment has repeatedly stated and
cow repeats that the people of this couu'y
are noi thirsting for the blood of thej mis
erable men. In fact, ninety -nine out of eve
ry one hundred of ourcilixens would giadiV
welcome their escape from tbe galloaw but
at the same time all have an inherent love
of justice, and respect for the laws of the
Commonwealth and cannot entertain the
thought of permitting convicted murderers
to battls tbe ends of justice by tbe use of
money whi'h all believe wa obtained from
their murdered victim.
There has not been a single mitigating
circumstance in behalf wf the Nicely boys.
The facta are that tneir conduct since tbe day
of their arrest has been of such a character
as to disarm what little sympathy would
naturally have been felt ior human beings
condemned to suffer violent death. '
Tbe delay of the Chief Executive of the
State in signing the death warrant bas driv
en many to tbe belief that it is an easy mat
ter for murderer to escape the gallows in
Pennsylvania and that tbe only way to pre
vent justice from being carried into contempt
is to abolish capital punishment altogether.
Notwithstanding that only a few days re
main of Governor Beaver' administration,
we do not believe that he will refuse to take
action in the Nicely case, nor do we believe
that be will grant them a commutation of
sentence. Regardless of the eloquent pleas
of learned council and touching prayers of
heartbroken parent, we cannot believe that
he will take the responsibility of ignoring
tbe finding of the jury who sat upon the
case, tbe sentence of the court, and which
subsequently found it impossible to grant a
new trial, tke ruling of the Supreme Court
of tbe State, who significantly remarked in
the opinion banded down that " the day bas
gone by when red banded murders can
escape on mere technicalities," and the refu
sal ofthe Board of Pardons to recommend a
commutation of aentocc after listening to
almost exbaustleas argument.
Tbe raspousihilty i too great for one isan
to bestr.acd we cannot believo that Ooreruor
Beaver is going to assume it,
Trm the Philadelphia Times.
HAkaissrio, Jan. 9. Governor Beaver to
day listened nearly four boar lo pleas in
tbe interest of David and Joseph Nicely,
who recently escaped from the Somerset jail
and were recaptured.. The purpose of tbe
bearing waa to induce tbe Governor to with,
hold tbe death warrant, in the hope that
such actio would save tbe murderers of
Herman Umberger from tbe gallows.
Two new counsel appeared in the faraotu
case. Ex-Judge Hunter, of Westmoreland,
opened tbe discassion by referring to the
good reputation enjoyed by tbe witnesses
from hi county who testified for the defense
at tbe trial.
General Coffrotb pleaded warmly and eh
qucntly for tbe prisoners. Ho said he had
a dot .ted ditferent meant to teat the sincerity
of their declaration of innocence and the !
result were in every Instance a eontirraition
of hi belief that they were not guilty of
connection with the warder of Herman
Umberger.
L. Butler said he bad beea told by tbe
father of tbe Nicely boy and two other gen
tlemen who bad called on tbe Governor that
the latter had expressed doubts as to the
guilt of the accused, after which he obtained
Information in Westmoreland county which
cocvinctO him tht important testimony
against the prisoner was unworthy of
belief.
Remarks were 'also made by General
Koontz and ex-Depaty Attorney General
Gilbert. One of the counsel iatimated that
a relative of Umberger, who wa distatisSed
with the manner in which the old man
projiosed to divide hi money, fcsd some
thing to do with the murder.
The Governor will not decide what action
he will take in the case until he shall bave
examined the points made in favor of tbe
iae!ys as taken djwn by his eoograpbtr.

tme moie effort is being made by the at
torneys of the icely brothers to save their
clients (rom the death penalty. This mom
ing the case Was tried In private before
Governor Beaver. Tbe object of the arga-
rucnt was to secure the withholding of the
death warrant, so that new evidence might
be presetited t the cext meeting of the
Board of Pardons. It Lad been the Gov
ernor's original intention to issue' tbe death
warrant during the present week. The at
torney of the Nicelys, Lyman D. Gilbert
and S. J. M. MeCarrell, of this city, are
firmly convinced of their clients" innocence
that they bave secured another chance for
the prisoners. It is said that Governor Bea
ver himself doe not feel perfectly convinced
that the Nicely are guilty. Among other
points of evidence presented to tbe Governor
today were afS laviu and facts proving that
the testimony of the witnesses who swore to
the identity of the Nicelys was unreliable ;
that these same witnesses have since Hated
that they might have been mistaken on the
night ofthe murder.
Governor Bvaver had announced no action
in the case at .'! o'clock this afternoon. It
has been sa-t.Ved that Governor Beaver
may sign the death warrant and then grant
a reprieve inord r thaf the case can be beard
again by the Board of Pardons.

An Important Bill.
A bill drafted by Ovid F. Jubnaon, of the
Philadelphia bar, will be presented to the
Pennsylvania Legislature early next week,
authoring the Governor to appoint a board
of three commiK-ioners for the promotion of
uniformity of legislation In the United
States, who are to examine the subjects of
marriage, divorce, insolvency, probate of
wills, notarial certificates and other subjects,
and are to meet, if possible, with the New
York State commissioners appointed by
Governor Hill for the same purpose for aa
interchange of views, and are especially to
consider the advisability of Pennsylvania
joining with New York in extending an in

uniferfm lau-f, to be submitted for adoption
by the different States. An effort will be
made to have the bill speeded and the report

Baltimore Brief. .
Due IIebald : '
Since my last communication Wm. BSaoy,
convicted of the murder of his aunt, Miss
Caroline M. Itlany, and also guilty ofthe
murder of his grandmother, was sentenced
by JuJgeStewart to be banned. This mur- I
der was double tragedy, which was com
mitted between 9 and 10 o'clock, r. a., on
Green mount avenue, only two and a half
squares front where your correspondent is
located. Young Blany is about 26 years of
age, ai.d bas a record of 24 indictments for
various crimes within tbe past twelve years.
He was alone in killing his annt and grand
mother, and committed the foul eked with
an ax. the motive being to obtain money
which belonged to the helpless victims of
his brutality. Such a crime ought to cure
the sidy sentimentalise which pretends to
array itself against capital punishment, in
meti n Lo -ay, " You can't reform a man by
hatii::g him." Neither is human life pro
tected iu proinnion to i'.s value, so long as
death is not the lenalty for taking life.
Capital punishment in civilizvd society re
forms the crimiiiai before be becomes such
by the restraint it put- upon men, and
hence is indispensible to tbe welfare of the
state and community.
The opnlation of the city of Baltimore is
4.V,is, and the following shows the work
of the police during tbe year ls : Tbey

back, at the whipping post, the instrument
used for producing the stripes being a com
mon raw-hide riding whip. It was my
privilege to be j'Tesent at the flogging of a
wife-beaier some tims ago. The culprit
stood it bravely, but it is safe to aay that he
know how it feels to be flogged, and that
his wife is in no danger of being beaten by
him aain.
