took • dose of sinehaute from my packet and swallowed t.
I had prepared it is the shape of a pill before I left my labo-

detection. I thought it was a large dose. The state of my
nervous system, probably, defeated its action partially. The
effects of Ms poises were terrible beyond description. It
was in operation at Ike College, and before I went there,

'Mad. I have draws up, in separate papers, an explanation
of the net intended to make of the blood sent for on Thurs-
day, the fled, sad of the conversation with Littlefield
about the dissecting vault. I think that Pettee, in
kis testimony at the trial, put too strongly my
words about having settled with Dr. Parks's.
Whatever I did say of the kind was in the hope I en-
tertained that I should be able to pacify Dr. Parkonn, and
make some arraneemeat with him, and was said in order to
quiet Patter who was becoming restive ander• the solid-
tations of Dr. Parkman.
After Dr. Webster had stated moat of the fads recorded
above, on the 23rd May this question, with all the earnest-
ness, solemnity, sad authority of tone that Dr. Putman was
maser of was addressed him :
" Dr.Webster' in all probability your days are numbered; ,
you C .11220 t, 701Idare not 'peak falsely to me nos ; you must
not die with a lie in your mouth; so, prove to yourself that
your repentance for the sins of year past life is sincere.
Tell me the truth tuts—a 0:05 ince tote kept semi dar-
ing your lifetime, and as much longer u my mad for the
happiness of your family shall seem tome tor. quire, and the
laciest of truth and justice to permit. Search to the bottom
of your heart for the history of your motives, and tell me
before Gad, did it sever occur to you, before the decease of
Dr. Parkman, that his death, if you could bring it to per,
would be of grist adnatage to you, or at least that permed
b jury to him might possibly be the retch of your expected
coefereses with Lim ? As ady log num. I charge you to
answer me truly and exactly, or else be silent—had Tea eat
alb a thought ?"
" No, never !" said be, with energy and feeling ; " as I
live, and as God is my
.witnese—never 1 I was se men
capable of such • thought than eine of sy innocent children.
I never had the remotest idea of injuring Dr. Parkmen wail
the moment the blow was struck. Dr. Perlman was ex
treacly severe and sharp—the most provokiag of men—and
lam irritab`e and pusionate. A quick-handed and brief
violence of temper has been a buena, sin of my life. I was
an only child—mash indulged—mad I bays never acquired
the control over my passions that I ought to have acquired
early, and the coesequence is all this."
But yon notified Dr. Pukes. to meet you at a certain
hour, and told him you would pay him, when you knew yea
had not the mow 1"
" No," he replied. " I did not tell his I 'could pay his,
and there is so *rides.. that I told him so. Except my own
words spoken after kis disappearance, and aft! r I had deter'
mined to take the ground oat I had paid him, theta weeds
were of the miserable tissue of falsehoods to which I was
comenitud from the moment I had began to C9llOllll the
homicide. I bad a thought of injuring Parkman."
Thi. Wit accompanied by the statement in which Prof, seer
We our attempts to explains, to his seeing Littlefield, sera.
ing for blood, and of inquiring about gases from the Tall.
After reading the statement, Dr. Putman proceeded to argue
as to its trathfulnem, saying that it was made when the writ
of error was still peedieg. Also„ that Professor Webster's
estate was worth several thousand dollars, and that he was
not in such a strait as to commit such a crime deliberately.
The previous petition from Professor Webster, protecting his
innocence sod praying for obeoltre pardon, he aid, was got
up by his family, who were unwavering in their belief in his
innocence, until his coaferi n was communicated to them
about a week since. He concluded in assisting his belief
that the confession was true.
