THE BOLDERO MURDER'
We had dined, and were sitting
comfortably about under the.half ru
ined shanty on the top of thin-'.moun
tain.
'Come, Bradley,' said,Col. Throop,
the story loving, 'tell us some moral,
entertaining, and instructive story,
before we return to . Sachem's Head.'
'1 said the young lawyer, ab
sently and staring away to seaward,
as if, expecting to find 4is story in
the summer haze that veiled ail the
further ball of the Sound; obscured,
even ihe nearer angular outlines •of
Falkner's Island. 'There's a singu
larly commanding view,' at last he
added, 'ftoin this spot, in clear weath
er.'
'Go *On- with your story,'• said
Throup. ,
''That's -what `.-Maas considering,'
said Bradley fact, my observa
tion in part"- led me to it.' And he
proceeded :
'You all remember the 'horrid mar
der' here in_ ,North Guilford some
years ago ? NO? It was of two
singular old ffnglitili people,.M.r. and
Mrs. Bolder.:: I remember the narne

lone a-rtiece, on a small, solitary'
farm woods, just over here on
the side 'of Quinebaugh Pond; keep
ing house in a strange, melancholy
way, being" known to have and-use a
considerable_ quantity of heaVy,
fashioned,:iinglish silver plate, but
dressing and eating other, wise on
scale parsimonious almost to misery.
Their silver, their reserved and al
most sour demeanorW laid even . the
slightly greater expensoof tbe dress
of their handsome niece,-`as: well as
the lady;like manners of that young
person, made the neighbors all be
lieve that they had been people of
importance at home, and,•in spite of
all their frugality here, immensely,
'rich still, having hoards in, cellar or
under the hearthstone perhaps.
'There was also an indistinct rumor
of a son or nephew of the old man,
whom nobody had seen, and indeed'
nobody-knew where the rumor came;
from, who was said to be a desperate
brutal sort of fellow.' - .
, He's the murderer ' ' said Throop.
'Well, all that was known at the
time of the murder was that the poor
old couple had disappeared. The
house was found uninhabited, one
pleasant.summer morning by a neigh

but sufficient, signs of the crime—
namely, the bed-clothes and bed all
saturated with blood. The niece,

elsewhere not so much as a drop of
blood nor any traces of the dead, and
nothing. whatever to mention, except
that. all the silver was gone.
!This was all, also, that the author-
ities could ascertain; and notwith
standing the rigid and persevering
search kept up by the people of the
neighborhood for some daya, these
facts remained the sum total of infor
mation in the matter.
'lt was about two: years after this,
while I Was. practicing in New. Ha

New Haven County, a leading lawyer
thilie, sent for me to assist him in
trying the case of the State vs. Yen

knew: - I
-needed even the small fees
which would be forthcoming, and be
cause he knew my father and myself.

-Now King was a classmate of mine
at college; had become a lieutenant
in the navy; and had,:as I knew, just

United States steamer to the Pacific,

, Yenseri had been bound' o've'r be

was bowever, 00 lawyer said,
and bad been, as it would appear,
.
lingering about. the house, probably
in hopes of seeing her; for old Bol
der° was so queer that he !night
hate been diipleas'ed if he had come
in. .The Old gentleman however, ex--
cused hitnself &Om giving any details,
being full of , bitsiness;.and remarking
that he should let the manage the
'ease, and that King would Undoubl
edly "Communicate with me upon it,
he seized somopapers and hurried, off,
telling"me•tliat King was attheTOntine
and Yeusen at ‘tht - Yotherpublia house
just above;' namely, the Jail;which is
a feliv doOtanorth of the old tavern,
and also on Church Street fronting
the green:
'Upon inquiring at the Tontine,
lice I found tliat - King—hart- - )
New York, and had left a note for mc.
This contained a cordial refererAtti
our old friendship, and infor'm'ed
that he should be in Conrt en the
day appointed 'for the trial, 'which
would be in ample season. .10 offi
cial Order occasioned his departUre.
'This was rather puzzling treat
ment,l thought, fertile managing at
torney of an important criminal case.
How was I to prepare my testimony
and to make up my brief? Further
consultation with the State'S Attor
ney did not clear up - matters; for the
old gentleman, I thought rather put
me' Off, avoiding to grve . ;iie. any,
formation on the plea of Urgent em

waa' right; for that so far as .he (the
attorneyyunderStood the argurnent
could be made extempore, and .im me
diately upon the rendering of the
testimony, as well as at six month's
notice. With this I was perforoe
content, and waited as well as I could
tho Ugh little confident in my powtrs
of extemporization.
'The morning of the trial came,
however, and I entered' the court=
room, having been put in communi

King was not visible. On, my say

marked that he ' stippesed not,, the
morning New Yorktrain not.artlving
quite yet. At ten o'clock the Court
entered, and the session was opened
with:the maul .abstied shout by Air.
Sheriff. •
'The case was called on and the
prisoner arc-singed. He looked Suffi
ciently likely to be guilty. A stout
built, bullet-headed, hard-featured,
sailorly person, with light hair, and
eyes, an evil visage, showing signs of
much dissipation, and a down look,—
Upon being put to plead he was ar

at which he started perceptihly, and

quiet old court-room suddenly heavy with

King, merely bowing silently, but turning
again --to the prisoner, proceeded ; and
-Jagger;at the bar, still gazed with that
,horrible fear upon his face, as if within the
sphere,of a fatal magnetism.
'Between the hOurs c of Ulf past four and
five, John Jagger came from the back
door of Mr. Boldero's house, went a doz
en of steps into the back yard, turned a
bout, and shook his right hand at the house
with a peculiar and characteristic gesture
of angry. passion. After a moment or two
he deliberately took - two sacks from a re
pository under the shed, and entered the
house with them. He shortly came out
again, having upon his shopldpr the, .bodyy
'Otlfr:Bifterci in one bf the Sacks, arid
this he carried through the yard, through
the woods between the house and the
pond, and placed it in Mr. Boldero's skiff,
which was made fast to a tree.. Then he
returned, and in like manner disposed of
the body of Mrs. Bolden". Then be cast
off the boat, took one of the oars, and,
standing up, sculled out into the pond to
a point about a third of the way across,
where hp sank the bodies, and then - re
turned. As he stood up in the boat to re-'
turn, he.made use:of the same gesture of
anger or excited _passion. made the
boat fast at the tree,' returned to•the house,
entered it, shortly came out :with the ; sil

tealerithe silver, smoothing the ground
over, and leaving:4 Covered with rubbish,'
as it was before. And then he passed
round the house, and went away down
the road.
'Mr. Bolder° had two prominent front
teeth, fellows, and with, a gold filling on
the inside of each corresponding with that
in the other. He had once fractured his
collar bone, and, having been unskillfully
set, the portions had grown:together so as
to leave a large projection, at the point of
juncture And he had lost all but half_ of
the loweit joint of his right rniddle finger.:
'Hastily breaking the string from a'par-.
cel, Ning tonk'from, it a human skull, a
radius and ulna with the bones of the hand
attached, and a collar bone, and held them
up. Then handing them from the wit
ness box to the forenian of the jury, - he
continued : ,
•"Phese are the bones of Mr. Bo!deka—
I recovered them• Myself from Wiinebauer
Pend, still in "the strong linen sacks, which
were of English make, such as he always
used. Thesrest of his remains, and those
of his wife, arc 'decently buried!
This strange and sudden display of the ,
mortal remains of his relative and victim
had an effect upon 'the coarse, materializ
ed mind of the murderer. which, perhaps,,
no circumstantiality of parole testirffOny
could have produced. He stared 'upon
the worn,and fleshless bones for a, MO-

terror strick6rf fade., 'Ali at once he caught
for breath, and 'groaned aloud; and then,
dropping his head upon the rail before him,
he eriedput, , Lordlo/v"e mercy upon me!'
And so he remained, - §4dawn, trembling
and silent until theijourruueut of the
court,.
'When the jurymen had eeteds

the relics of mortality which King had
given them, he handed them up to the
Judge, and continued,:

seen Jagger make use of on the morning
of the murder which caused me to iecoa"-
Oize him as the criminal. When I saw him
at New London he flew into a passion,

* This, ih connection with/ the general
strangepess of his manner, caused me to
have him watched, and taking him - with
the silver completed my conviction.

which I became an eye witness of the
facts I have mentioned 'At the :tfine of

might to give , you:a collateral item
or two, to fdl,out some details, The. old
justice, Bulpin, had retained Beldero's
will, without even mentioning its exist
ence, during Jagger's proceedings un
der the previous one, in accordance with
a strict construction of the old gentleman's
instructions to him at placing it in , his
charge.
'The neighbors, in their search for the
bodies of Mr. and Mrs: Doldero, would
have found them had they dragged the
pond. But this does not seem to have oc
curred to them, as there is an ancient and
received tradition in . the .vitinity that a,
certain large area of it, lying opposite the
mountain, is. unfathomable—,an. _account,
by the may, which is almost invariably
orrettond - religiously believed;neat any
rustic lakelet. They say the same of the
Black Pimd, in Middlefield ; of "the little
lake on the summit of Talcott Mountain,
west of Hartford. •
"It appeared afterward that quite.an elab
orate scheme ofdefence hadbeen concoct
ed by. Jagger or his counsel, which, how
ever, was rendered useless by the unex
peeted and overwhelming directness of
King'itestirziony, and by the effect of it
and of the bones so. suddenly exhibited
,tipon . the prisoner. This ; defense was to
have consisted mainly 'in .th,e, testimony of
a felloW WhOlirds to have sworn to having
been informed of the place where the sil
ver was burled, while at sea, by
.a sailor,
who died; and_ho was to have been made
out the -murderer.'
Thus ended the lawyer's,story.
Said he, rising; . 'come this 'way, and see
how plainly we can see the .',farm'. We

of the mountain, where it falls, in one' teep

a faint smoke risingfrom one chimney;

have more plainly rev Baled the demagogue

letter, He disgracefully confesses his mo

THE FIRST PRINTED 11001 i:
It Ise remarkable and most interesting
fact, says a secular paper, that the' very
first use to which the discovery of print
ing was applied was the production of the
Bible. This was accomplished' at Mentz;
between the years 1450 and 1455. Gut
tenburg was the inventor of the art, and
Faust, a goldsmith, furnished the necessa
sary funds. Had it be a single page or an
entire sheet, which was' then produced,,
there might have been less occasion to
haVe noticed it ; but there was something
in the whole character ofthe affair which,
if riot unprecedented, rendered it, singular
in the current of 'human events. This ,
Bible .was in two folio volumes, which ,
have been justly 'praised for the beauty'
and. strength of the paper,_ the exactness
of the register, and the lustre of the ink.—
The work contained : twelve hundred_aadl
eighty:two pages, and being the first ever
printed, of course involved.a.long period
of time, and an immense amount of men
tal, manual and mechanical labor ;- and
yet, for a long time after it had been
fin
ished and offered for sale, not , a single hu
man being, save the artists themselves„
knew how it had been. accomplished,
Of the first printed Bible, eighteen cop'-
ies,are now known to be in existence;
four of which are printed on vellum: - Two•
of these are in England, one being in the
Grenville collection ; one is in the Royal
Library at Berlin ; and one in the Royal
Library of Paris ; of the remaining four--
teen copies, ten are in England—there be

and seven in the collection of different no.
