MURDER OF IPETy H4LSTE4D.
Details OF the Deed.

The New York papers, OF Monday, are 9ued
with the details Of the tragic end OF General
Oliver S. Halstead Jr., well-known poll
ticlan, who was shot the day before in the
room of woman ofdtsreputabe character, in
Newark, N. j., by Jealous rival.
Halstead, 1t appears, had been visiting the
woman MARY Wilson) for some time. A
former patron of this woman, d charcoal mer-
chant named Bolts, maddened with drink and
jealousy, broke into the house early Sunday
morning, and, after slight scuffle with his
victim, who had just arisen from bed, shot him
In the heart andiungs, causing death in fifteen
minutes. The murderer, after the commits
sion oil the deed, walked away, but upon be-
ing pursued by policeman, gave himself up.
He freely confessed the murder, and said that
he had premeditated 1t. and was willing to be
hanged for it. Oliver S. Halstead, the mur-
dered man, belonged to prominent family.
His father, who resides near Newark, is the
venerable and well known exChancellor
Halstead. The deceased was In the SD year
of his age, and was graduated at Princeton
College in 1889. He practiced law until l849,
when he went to California and remained q
year or two. Returning to Newark In 1860.
Mr.. Halstead was prominent supporter OF
friend OF Mr.. Lincoln all through his ad-
minlstration, and was frequently consult
ed by the President upon matters Of state. At
this time General Halstead gained the SOUL
briquet of '.Petn Halstead from his supposed
position In Mr.. Lincoln's confidence. About
year ago he was again before the public eyein
connection with the "Halstead battery" a sub.
marine apparatus which attracted some atten-
ton. General Halstead was man of paris,
especially endowed with those forld, II not
very solid, qualities which makes men promi-
nent In troubled times. He leaves wife and
six children, among whom are two sons OF
twenty-five and twenty years of age. Mira
Halstead, whom he married In l840, is the
daughter of the late Stephen Meeker. one of
the wealthiest and most respected citizens of
Newark-who died In 1868. She possesses In
her own right considerable property, and the
family of the deceased are, therefore, In good
circumstances.

4 NEW LUCRETIA BoRGI.4.
The Woman who Poisons Three Hus-
bands and TWO Step-Children.

Brief mention was made In o telegram in
Saturdays NEWS Of the arrest at New Bruns-
wick, New Jersey, of Mrs. Lydia Sherman, by
officers from Connecticut. who charge her
with having poisoned at different times three
husbands and two step:children, the offspring
of her last husband by a former marriage.
The New York papers of Saturday state that
this woman married Jerseyman nearly ten
years ago, and, after living with him three
years, he died suddenly, and under clrcun-
stances which ocCasioned considerable com.
ment. The second husband was married in
Connecticut, and died under equally suspicious
circumstances, but, as nothing was there
known of the former mysterious death, no
action was taken. Early in 1870, at Derby,
Connecticut, the woman married Nelson
Il. Sherman, widower, with two chill
dren, one six, and the other fifteen years
old. Within nine months, these three
died, all under the same uaaccountabe
circum stances. After the death Of The oldest
child, which occurred last, Mrs. Sherman went
TO New Brunswick to visit, and Went also to
Philadelphia. Immediately after she had left,
succeeding the death of the child, the iriends
of Mr.. Sherman took steps to Investigate the
matter, aud to that end had the body OF Mr.
Sherman and those Of the two children ex-
humed. The officers who came on to make
the arrest state that undenabe evidence Of
poison was found upon all three OF the bodies.
and that 1t was plainly seen in the stomach OF
the last buried of the three. They also state
that they have been able to Ok upon the al
legged murderer the purchase ofpoison similar.
to that of which traces were found. The poison
was vegetable and Of an unusual character,
the officers being unable to give its name.
They were armed with warrants and requl-
sltion from Governor Jewell. The statements
OF the officers leave no doubt that the woman
is guilty of one of the most startling and SEN
sa ional series OF crimes that has ever been
committed. On being charged. with the
crime she gave no appearance OF guilt, ana
beyond the simple surprise and the assertion
of her innocence, did not seem to be at al
affected.
