CONCORD DAILY MONITOR, New Hampshire, April 12 and May 6, 1866
* The Dearing family murders
* "Murder by gaslight"
* Antoine Probst arrest
A pair of issues on the horrific Dearing family murder, covering the murder report and the confession of the murderer.
Page 2 of April 12 has: 'Horrid Murders" which report the crime in which 8 people were murdered, 6 in one family (details in the report are in error). The May 6 report has: "The Confession of Probst", the murderer.
Robbery was the motive, but he only got $13. He would be hanged on May 7.
Each has four pages, nice condition.
