Baltimore Court Upholds Sealing of Nicholson Doom
In the case of Joshua Nicholson and co defendant Thomas Halloran for the murder of Mrs. Tampler, the Court of Appeals affirmed the Criminal Court ruling to seal Nicholson’s doom. Governor White may sentence Nicholson soon and Aalleran’s execution next Friday may be stayed so both accomplices could be hanged together. The suit against the Mutual Life Insurance Company by Mrs. Goss concluded with a verdict for $5,277, a test case regarding three other policies totaling $25,000. The insurer contends the burned body was not Mr. Goss and another body was used to defraud the company.
