Murder 81 "Pst" lIaistsad.

The murder of "Petn Halstead in
the bedroom of his mistress BY her
lover, yesterday morning, causes
considerable excitement in Newark.
The murderer, Bolts, expresses no
regret for the deed. After he was
arrested, he said he expected he wo'd
have poor Fourth Of July, but Hal
stead would have poorer one. He
was satisfied to be strung up on the
first tree he came to, but he had had
all the satisfaction he wanted. The
tragic end of the long eventful career
of Halstead, will once more revive in
the memories of thousands ofpeople
who were in Washington during the
war, many amusing "reminiscences Of
one who was the best known man Of
that time. Ex.Chancellor Halstead
and Mayor George Halstead, the
father and brother of the deceased
were both 1t thcscen of the tragedy
yesterday awaiting tho coroner's
permission to take away the remains.
Tho funeral takes place on Wednes
day, from his late elegant residence
at the corner of Broad and Parkhurst
street.

and then warm friends. Both were
modest and unassuming, but earnest
faithful and true in the good cause. -
At the close of tho war these two
young men were mustered out with
the rank of Colonel, and on the 2lst
day of this month both we're nomina.

is said also that many fields of corn
