Biography: 

Mr. Wilmoth edits the Jefferson newspaper. He is described as "an older man, though with hair less white than [Gavin] Stevens', in a black string tie and an old-fashioned boiled shirt and tremendously fat" (355). Wilmoth helps Stevens keep word of Samuel Beauchamp's execution from reaching Jefferson and contributes a significant amount of money to bring back Beauchamp's body, saying that "even if I could help myself, the novelty will be almost worth it. It will be the first time in my life I ever paid money for copy I had already promised beforehand I will not print" (360).
