A search was ma le in Homstead for John
Myers, the writer of the letter connecting
Fitziiuinions with the Voiberger crime
in Somerset county. The only John
Myers to be found in Homestead is
a man who has lived there for six
years. He came there from Latrobe.
He was formerly a stonemason, but he is
now the owner of a high hat, a clever tongue
and a suit of black broadcloth. At present
be is earning a living and making house
wives happy ty peddling clothes-wringers
and Wishing machine'. About murders he
says be kiiows but little, aad in an interview
last eight s&'d :
'"I did not write the letter. I do not even
know who could have written the letter.
A!i I know is that I Lave seen Fitzsinnaoos
peddling silk umbrellas iu and about Home
stead. I never was in Somerset county. I
was tot anjuainted with the man. I did
not ee Fitzsrmmons tanea from the lockup
to the station, but I was on Seventh avenue
at the time. 1 remember of talking in a
crowd about seeing Fitxrimmons peddling
umbrellas and soim-one nyiy have overheard
me and then built up tbi ret-t of the story.
I expect the nexi. thing will be the identifi
cation of Fred Fitziimraons as Jack the
Ripper. I know just as much about hiscon
uection with that crime as I do about the
lerp:tration of the t'mberger murder."
HAS SO IOIBTS OF THE1S Gl'ILT.
Charles MePhai!, of the Gilkins on agancy, j
was talked to on the matter Saturday be
says : "There is no doubt about the guilt of
the Nicely boys. Fitzsimiuon never com
mitted that crime, and even though Fiix
simmons is a bad man. it is not fair to accuse
him of murders that be did not commit. I
believe tne letter was only a clever scheme
gotten up by friemls for the Nicelys to secure
a reprieve. The rifles iu eaeh pistol may
and gave notice tbattbe would demand four
ti ckets of ailraissacn to the execution- Mr.
Nicely aisa visited bis boys in tlie jail. Joe
ref ined to speak to bis father, but before be
left, shook, bands with him. The wauh- !
men in the jail think they observe a vrtst j
improvement in Joe's condition since Dr. I
Orth's visit. ;
Old i!r. Nicely has been seen on the streets 1

Fitisimrcotis, the murderer of Detectrve
GiUinson, of Pittsburgh, is cha-gei with
nearly all the murders and robberies that
have been committed in Western Pennsyl
vania for the past decade. The la'eat and
most startling of all is that of charging bim
! with thi murder of Farmer Vmberger, but
! as ntial with all laM hour canards there is I
' but little stock taken in it. Below we ap- j
per.d the letter in which the charge is cade,
i which read and j itlge for yourself as to the
i tru'h or fi'sity of the statements contained
j therein. The letter was written Friday and
I mailed from Homestead, Pa. :
AeexsrEO or asothkb (kixe.
" I wish to inform the good people of
Westmoreland county that they Lave un
justly accused the Nicely boys of the murder
of Farmer Cruberger. If they hang those
bojs for that murder they will commit a
o'd-bl-ioded murder. How unjust ; how
unkind have those witnesses sworn in eirder
to get the reward offered for their convic
tion ' Thick of all 1 Fathers, sons and broth
ers, place yourselves ia tbs Ndcely brothers'
position and yoa will see the injustice of a
jury law.
They were bonest toilers of the soil the
most honest i.-iass of people on earth. They
could not have been induced to have left
their loved families and commit tacb ao
awfui crime. No, never !
The acts of the State will leave these chil
dren fatherless, and those mothers weep
ing. Oh, how unjust; It is bringing their
parents fceAxtbrcken to their graves. Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, save tha lives of the
Nicely boys, for they are not guilty, and
Westmoreland county will be free from the
blood of two innocent boys.
I bad a talk with a man from necr the
place where the Vmberger murder was cora
miued. He told me confidentially that be
would have appeared in behalf of tbe Nicely
boys, but was a'raid he might get into troub
le, as those scoundrels who were pushing
the case were bent on having the reward.
H bad met two men near the I'mberger
homestead on the evening of the murder.
They were peddiing silk umbrellas, and
tried to aell hira one. Tbey offered it at less
than cost, but he would not bay. One of
the men was tailer than the other. Tbe
shorter maa was a good talker.
iDtxrirtao t jfErEas' FKixrvro-.,
I was presvtjt at the train on the evening
Fitzsimmona, the murderer of Gilkinsoa,
was taken to Pittsburgh, when suddenly
my friend said to me, " That is the man I
aaw near the Umberger farm on the evening
the old farmer was murdered."
That ia what led me to write the above.
differ slightly, but then it would be imposai
bie to tell whether the groves marked by
them ita the builels would be tbe saaie. The
bullets are so flattened that it would be im-
t-jssible to tell what the mirks were. Of
course all the 1W caliber bullets of the same
muke will have exact'y the same weight
even if they were fired from a thousands
d ffereiit pistols."
Dr. H. L. Orth, of Harrisburg. has submit
ted his report to the Governor. He says he
crime to Somerset at the request of General
Coffroth and A. A. Nicely. lie then goes
on to describe the patient and the jail ia
which he. is confined. Tbe doctor then
says: "He - Joe Nicely 1 moved in a seem
ingly methodical manner aronnd the rear
half of tbe cell, starting from the washstand,
which he would seize hold of, shake and
pound, then to the smooth wall, pausing bis
right hand along the surface untO it met the
projecting rib. which Le would famble a
shot time, then to the corner of the room,
where be would pass his fingers over the
rivit heads and up and down the angle iron,
then pass on 10 the side and along tbe wall
to another projecting rib, go through the
same maneuvers with the same hand. Then,
with bis left hand and arm continually mov
ing op and down in an ai uless way, be
would cross the room and repeat bis walk,
as if seeking some starting point to work his
av through the walls. He never approach
ed the cell bars. Noise in tbe corridors did
not apparently in any way attract him.
' Inquiring of the deputy sheriff and death
watch I learned that this manner of walking
was almost constant until dinner time. Af
ter dinner he would lie down and sleep for
some time, then rouse up and pursue bis
aimless walk ; that he was a light eater, but
only ate when he was led to tl e table on
which food and drink are placed ; that be
was cleanly in perioral habits, performing
the usual calls of nature without suggestiem,
went to bed of bis own volition, and did not
require to be often roused ; girt np wben he
awoke, but would not wash unless urged by
gentle force ; that be slept well at night, and
did not toss and turn in bed, or moan or
utter any cries. His eclor was sallow, his
ajpeeranoe unkempt, not having beon sbav
ei for several days; cunatenance heavyi
laogard, indifferent ; skin of forehead
wrinkled by a constant frown ; eyelids half
closed and under lips constantly working ;
bis face devoid of any indications of intelli
gence. He was indifferent and stolid in
m-anner. H:s attention could not be aroused
and maintained except by taking hold of
bim and retaining him in the position you
desired. This attention was not mental,
lie was traetabie to any guiding physical
force, but he would not talk. His silence
was persrstent ar.d obstinate : neither prom
ises nor threats seemed to a rouse him frcm
bis apathetic condition. His eyes were ex-prestionie-ss,
sensitive (tbe pupils dilating
and contracting in darkness and light), con
stATit'y in motion, could not be fixed. Tte
tongue slightly coated and reddened at
edes. The pulse Biuaii end rapid ; about
Vii beats per urinate. Temperature cot
taken. The skin appeared cool ; lungs in a
normal condition ; beart hypertrophied with
impairment of artic valves. R-tfexes nor
ms!. Nothing could be learned as to the
sensitiveness of the skin.
" Interference with him in his nsual walk,
obstructing his access to his accufomed
points, caused Lira mnch annoyance which
he expressed by frowniDg, compressing his
lips, bhr-j-vii.g his shoulders and stamping
on the fl fr, and then sgain starting on
bis rounds with a repetition of his anger
wbeu he failed to find his well known pro
jections, which se-emed to engross his whole
attention. Twie-e during my frequent visits
to him I awakened bim from sleep, but fail
ed to detect any gleams of intelligence in his
manner or facial expression.
" The medical officer in charge of the jail
tells nie that about four months ago tie
prisoner escaped, remaining in the woods
three or four days, then gave himself up to
the authorities ; tbat be was in a half-starved
and nearly frozen condition, and during
and after his recovery he had frequent fits
of depression which gradually increased in
frequency until about three weeks ago,
when failure to have his case reheard by tbe
Pardon Board seemed to totaily depress bim
and his present imhecility followed, and be
has not, as far as can he discovered, spoken
one word since that date.
" After every effort to secure a reversal of
tbe verdict or a pardon had proved abortive
the motive to simulate disease was so great,
the carrying out of the details of this simu
lation was so easy, even under tbe eye of a
keen observer, in the time ar.d place that
could be secured for this investigation, tbat
I approached the examination with great
hesitancy, but the history of tbe prisoner (as
learned from Dr. Kimme! and the jail at
tendinU ) his appearance, his physical con
dition, lis manner of action all combined to
sweep sway my prejndtces, and convinced
me of the present mental and moral irre
sponsibility of tbe prisoner, and I undoubt
edly believe him to be insane and a proper
person to be committed to tbe care of an in
sane hospital."
The report wss handed to Got. Pattison
bylj-man D. Gilbert and a J. MeCarrel,
eoun'sel for tbe prisoner, but the Govermw
did not indicate what action he would take.
General Coffroth and Anbtony A. Nicely
riaited the Sheriff's office Tuesday morning
It is Not Regarded as the Beginning
of a Great Oil Territory.
TJohn L. McCargo, who returned yesterday
from Somerset couaiy, where oil was
reported to have been struck !a.srt Monday,
says tbat it is rather doubtful if the localuy
will amount to anything ia the way of an
oil field. "The well," he said, "is locattd
in Eik Lick township, not far from Mytrs
dale, and while it may prove the first pro
ducer in an entirely new field, the chances
are about as 10 to 1 against it. It ia ia the
southern part of the county and lies almost
due east of the Dunkard field, in Greene
county, from which it must be distant tiot
leas than 75 or miles. It is a considera
ble distance east of what is known as Laurel
Hill anticlinal, an-1 aiso east of a saort an
ticlinal called the Negro mountaia anticli
nal. The charmed io line upon which oil
men operate, running through the Eik Lick
well, passes many miles east of any oil field
iu the State, and is east of any gas tern to.'y
yet opened up. If this line were extended
on into West Virginia it would pass east of
the moet easterly field in that State, and if
extended down to Kentucky would probably
pass near the oil territory there. ,
" I think it is too far east to ever amount
to much as an oil field. There has never
been oil found in paying quantities so close
to tbe Allegheny mountain range. The
geological tortualion is also against the
Utiitiood 01 a goou weil. Still, notwith
standing all these indications agaiuct the
finding of oil, there ia a possibility that a
producing field may be opened. The drill
has again aud again knocked out the theo
ries advauced by the most experienced oper
ators, and a pool may be found as close to
tbe cieMJiiuan range as the Eik Lick ven
ture. "The part of toe country ia which this
well is located has all been examined by ex
perts and in tbe opinion of ail of them is
cb:ei!yto the effect that it is poor oil terri
tory. " Tbe well has been reported as a flowing
one, nut it did not floflr. Tbe buier brought
up a little black-looking fluid on top of the
water which bad a siiht.y brackish as weil
aa an ouy taste. Tne nu:d la said to smell
like, look like, and burn like oil. The rlaiu
was found at 1,200 feet. This is not a sure
siea of a prodctive oil tand. as indications
of petroleum, making allowance for dip of
rocks and elevation of surface. Lave been
found at this depth in mauy parts of the
United States. A showing of oil at twice
that depth would be a much more encourag
ing indiration in that locality than to get it
at tbe point it is alleged to have beea found.
" The usual excitement over the strike has
resulted, and the farmers are already want
ing bonuses of alxaut double the selling
value of their farms in fee simple. Tbe well
is being drilled by a local company, and it is
alleged that some of tbem have refuses a
pemium of 100 per cent for their stock. I
predict the well will be a failure." Pitts
