TIE MURDERER Or "PET' HALsTEAD.-
NeXt Friday n set down for the execution OF
George Bolts for the mur Ter of 9" Pet Halstead
j he hanging will be conducted with the utmost
privacy. Few persons will be admitted outside
IF the proper officers and properly accredited
pres reprcse natives. Bolts denies the affidavit
made by Airs. Wilson Gisclaiming that she was
married to him. In her evidence Mrs. Wilson
declared at the trial that she had known Bolts
about seven years. The copy of the minister :
record OF BOtts' marriage to Julia Jcnkin bears
da'e Of September, 1861. There IL a broad lie
between Them and the public seem careless as
10 where II i really chargeable. In converse
ton with Mrs. Wilson's father-a respectable
comfortably situated workingman of Newark
he stated that three or fouryears ago Bolts came
TO his house in the country and acted very silly
about Mrs. Wilson, and told him that he was
going 10 secure divorce for Mrs. Wilson from
her husband, and that he (BOttS) would then
marry and take good care OF her. The old man
does not believe they were married. On We'd
nesday Newark local reporter, representing a
paper which had described Bolts as an ill-loOk-
ing fellow, called at the Jail and sought to inter
view the murderer. The latter waxed exceed
ingly wroth and tore out at the interviewer at a
fierce rate. He declared, it is SAID, that were he
outside his cell bars he would knock the damned
head of OF the reporter. The latter lost no time
In leaving the county Jail behind him.
