THE HOME TRIBUNE WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER J 3. 1897.
HALLETT ARRESTED
Grand Jury lodlciment Charging Ce rge
Hallett With Arson.
HE TOOK ARREST YERY QUIETLY
Asserts His Innocence and Say air. Is the
Woik of Enemies—Hallett VI ell
Known Here.
I
George Hallett was arrested in the
Armstrong pool room yesterday after
noon on charges of arson and locked
up in the county jail. '
For the past two days the grand
Jury, now in session, have been rigidly
investigating the ’recent fires, which
were undoubtedly of incendiary
origin.
The evidence placed before them by
a number of witnesses was sufficient
to cause them to bring a bill of in
dictment agfainst George Hallett
charging him with arson. This bill
was returned about 3:30 yesterday
afternoon.
A warrant was at once sworn out
for him, and placed in the hands of
Officers Jonhs and Wimpee. They
began a search and in a short while
found Hallett in the pool room at the
Armstrong hotel. They told him that
they had a warrant for his arrest,and
,he submitted very quietly. From his
actions at the time it was evident
that the arrest was not altogether a
surprise to him.
Hallett, however, felt keenly, the
seriousness of his position, and ap
peared broken by the blow. His talk
was almost incoherent, and he
stumbled a great deal in talking to
the arresting officers.
He asserts his innocense of the
charges, but seem* disinclined to talk
very much about the affair. He said,
however, that his arrest was spite
work of enemies, who were against
him because he was agent for fire ap
peratus.
Hallett is fairly well known here, hav
ing married the daughter of Mr. Nat’
Wright of this city. Several years ago
he lived here, but left Rome. Some
mo ithsagohe returned and has been en
gaged principally in selling fire extin
gushert, patent nozzles and other
fire appliances. He is rather heavily
made, of low stature, and appears to
be about 40 years of age.
The officers who worked up the case
believe that they have sufficient evidence
to convict him. This, though remains
to be proven at his trial which may
take place during the present term of
Superior court.
The arrest was a general topic of com
ment and speculation last night.
