The following cuts present three correct views of the outlines of Moselman's skull. They were drawn by Mr. John Henry Brown, a very promising young artist of this city.

The intellectual region is full, the moral rather small, and that of the propensities very large. Of his intellectual region, the perceptive faculties are the most strongly developed; and he must have had considerable powers of observation, knowledge of facts, places, forms, and a musical taste, &c. The reasoning faculties being only full, his ability to discriminate, illustrate, compare, or to investigate the nature, mental faculties tend to render those portions of the skull thin which are situated immediately above the organs of these faculties; and, on the other hand, that the skull becomes much thicker where the brain beneath it receives but little exercise or nutriment. We wish to call the special attention of phrenologists to this class of facts, and to the principles which may be established upon them, as they have, thus far, been greatly overlooked by the cultivators of the science.-ED. causes, and effects of things, could have been only moderate, and would have prevented him from exercising much originality of thought, or logical reasoning. The moral region, though in part full, would be entirely too feeble to have much influence over his propensities, which are all either large, or very large; and consequently, he must have had considerable difficulty in restraining his propensities, and if placed in a situation to favour their activity, would have been likely to yield to their influence. From the combinations of his organs, I should judge that he would be likely to finish what he began, and, as the case might be, would strike in the dark, or, Judas like, betray the hand that reared him. His disposition to acquire would be very great, and he would not stop much as to the means by which he might procure it. His compunctious visitings would be "few and far between," and remorse would scarcely ever be felt for the most heart-rending atrocities. He would be highly selfish, treacherous, and secretive, but not overly cautious, and would make any sacrifice of friends to gratify his desires. His love of children would be very considerable, and is almost the only trait that illumines the dark catalogue of his propensities. The evidence of Lewis Willman, the servant of Moselman, and to whom he confessed the deed, will show a recklessness upon the part of the perpetrator, which has few, if any, parallels upon record, and which, I need scarcely add, accords most accurately with his developements. As the language in the evidence which was given in by Willman is broken (he being a German), and from necessity unconnected, I will endeavour to give the facts in such a manner as will make them at least intelligible. Lewis Willman stated to the jury, that he first became acquainted with Cobler at Baltimore; was with him when he got his money changed, and when he purchased a pistol and a knife. That Cobler hired him as a servant on the 19th of February, at twelve dollars per month, and on the same day gave him a coat and a watch. That they traveled from Baltimore to Philadelphia in company, and after remaining there about two weeks, they returned to Baltimore, and got some papers which Cobler had left with Mrs. Rowe. That he (Willman) saw the papers frequently: one was a Jewish Almanac, the other a check on the bank, and the third was the license of Zellerbach. That he had read it often, and which Cobler afterwards destroyed, by putting it into his gun and shooting it away. Some time after, they returned to Philadelphia, and being indebted to the innkeeper where they had lodged to the amount of twenty-six dollars, and not wishing to discharge the debt honestly, Cobler by degrees smuggled off all (save his two guns) in his hat and boots, and being unable to remove the guns clandestinely, he told the innkeeper that he intended to go a gunning, and in that way succeeded in getting them off triumphantly. Having crossed the Delaware, and after staying there a few days, they returned to Philadelphia, and from there they traveled to Pittsburg, by the way of Lancaster, Harrisburg, and Chambersburg, and after remaining there a few days, returned as far as Lancaster by the same route. As they drew near Lancaster, Cobler told him that he had seen his name in the papers, and that he was suspected of being the murderer of Zellerbach. Here Cobler wished to go to Philadelphia, but upon Willman's objecting, he resolved to go to Baltimore, by the way of Strasburg; and when within a mile of Baltimore, he gave Willman a bundle, and told him to hide it under a small bridge, and afterwards to go into the city and ascertain what was said about the murder of Zellerbach, and to say nothing about the license which he had seen in his possession. Cobler remained at the Point, where he had left him, until he returned with his intended father-in-law, who persuaded him to go into the city with them. The next morning, whilst at breakfast, they were arrested, and, after a hearing, were placed in prison, where they remained for ten days, and were then removed to Lanca-ter. During their mutual confinement in the Lancaster prison, and after being hardly pressed by Willman, Cobler told him that he was the murderer. That he had traveled with Zellerbach from Cleveland, Ohio, to Pittsburg; that Zellerbach remained in Pittsburg for ten or fifteen days, and that he had then and there enlisted in a company of United States dragoons, from which Zellerbach afterwards persuaded him to desert, and at the same time offered him his assistance, and pecuniary means to pay his passage to Philadelphia. They left Pittsburg in company, and traveled upon the canal as far as Harrisburg, when they proceeded on foot until within about a mile of Lancaster, (where a bridge crosses the Harrisburg pike,) when they both sat down to ease themselves, and he being done first, buttoned up, and whilst Zellerbach was still sitting, he took a stone and struck him upon the forehead, and followed up the blow by stabbing him with a knife. After some time, Zellerbach got up and attempted to make his escape, but was followed, overtaken, and after considerable resistance, was finally overcome by Cobler, and despatched with a knife. After throwing him over the fence, he carried him some distance into the field, where he rifled his pockets, and sat down beside him to examine their contents by the light of the moon. He remained with the body until nearly daylight, and as his own clothes were bloody, he dressed himself in a suit of Zellerbach's, which he had previously taken from the pack, and after throwing his own into a neighbouring privy, he walked to Lancaster and took the cars for Philadelphia, entering his name on the books as Peter Dill. After going to New York, he returned by way of Philadelphia to Baltimore, and stopped at the house of Mrs. Rowe, where Willman soon after became acquainted with him. The evidence of Willman was corroborated by the rest of the testimony throughout; and the following statement, which I obtained from Mr. Reed, (who was at that time sheriff of Lancaster county,) besides confirming the testimony of Willman, shows in a very strong light the duplicity of Cobler's character. "As I returned to Lancaster with Cobler," says Mr. Reed, "he positively denied all knowledge of Zellerbach, and declared that he had never known him. Some time after, and whilst under my charge in prison, in conversation with him one day, he told me that he had enlisted in Pittsburg, and as he thought for one month only. He there met Lazarus Zellerbach, who told him that he was mistaken about his enlistment, and that instead of one month, he had enlisted for five years. Upon ascertaining this fact, Cobler dctermined to desert, and with the assistance of Zellerbach, who furnished him with clothes, &c. he made his escape, and traveled with him as far as Harrisburg." Upon Mr. Reed's asking him how it came, "that when coming from Baltimore with him, he should have denied all knowledge of Zellerbach, and now confessed that he had traveled with him from Pittsburg to Lancaster? He made no reply, and very abruptly broke off the conversation. Mr. Reed also stated that Cobler was fond of children, and that he had requested him to send his children over to see him once more the day before his execution. Whilst under his care, he described him as being "sullen, very passionate, and easily offended," and that he did not seem to have much friendship for any person, and was very careful to secrete all his papers. That he had a great disposition to acquire, I presume no person will doubt, after having heard the notorious fact of his having sold his body for the purposes of dissection, about ten days previous to his execution. The following is a copy of the agreement. "Know all men by these presents: That I, Henry Cobler Moselman, now under sentence of death in the common jail of the county of Lancaster, for and in consideration of the sum of five dollars, to me in hand paid by George B. Kerfoot, M. D. of the city of Lancaster, the receipt and payment of which said sum is hereby acknowledged, have bargained and sold, and by these presents do bargain, self, and convey my body unto him the said George B. Kerfoot, after I shall have been duly executed in conformity with the sontence of the court of oyer and terminer of Lancaster county, on Friday, the twentieth day of December next, by virtue of a warrant from the governor of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, under the broad seal of said commonwealth, directed to the sheriff of the county of Lancaster aforesaid, to have and to hold my said body to the use and behoof of the said George B. Kerfoot, M. D. for the purpose of dissection, and the promotion of anatomical knowledge. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this tenth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine." HENRY COBLER MOSELMAN. Sealed and delivered in presence of JOHN WISE, GEORGE FORD, Jr. Through the kindness of the Rev. Mr. Beates, I have been enabled to glean the following from a diary kept by him during his visits to the unfortunate Cobler. At the request of Cobler, Mr. Beates visited him on the 31st of August, 1839, and as he entered his room, found him reading the Bible. After conversing with him for some time, he found that his mind was in such a state as to render him entirely unfit for spiritual conversation. He accused the judge and jury of injustice towards him, denied all knowledge of Zellerbach, and stated that some other person in the neighbourhood had been guilty of the murder. Sept. 3d. Found him reading the Bible, and asked him if he found any thing in it to interest him. He said, No; and that he merely read it because he had nothing else to do. When asked whether he believed in it, he answered, Yes; and to the question, "Why, then, did you not live up to it?" he answered that he did. Persisted in his innocence, and again railed at the judge and jury. Sept. 5th. Found him indifferent and unconcerned about his situation; and upon being asked what were his feelings when he thought of death, judgment, and eternity, he made no decided reply-said that he was satisfied with what God should ordain-seemed hardened and inexorable, although every thing was tried to bring him to a sense of his duty. Sept. 11. Found him reading a psalm-book-asked him if he believed that his soul was immortal, and if his conscience did not chide him for what he had done. He answered, Yes; and laughingly remarked, that he was not worried or uneasy, and slept well |
