! large grape vine-say two inches In diameter and
two feet long. II wasone OF several pieces which
bad carried in from Cambridge long before for the
purpose Of showing the effect Of certain chemical
fluids in coloring wood by being absorbed into the
! pores; the grape vine being very porus wood was
well adapted to this purpose Another longer stick

took up the two notes either from the table or
| the floor think the table, close by where DR. P.
| had fallen; ! seized old metallic pen lying on
| the table, dashed it across the face and through
the signatures and put them in my pocket do
! not know Why did this rather than put them In
the fire. for had not considered for a moment what
effect either mode OF disposing Of them would have
on the mortgage, or my Indebtedness TO Dr.. ?. aud
| the other persons interested, and | had not yet
given single thought 70 the question as 70 what
account | should give Of the objects or result oil
my interview with DR.. Parkman; never saw
the sedge hammer spoken OF by Llueheld-
never knew OF its exstence-at least l have
10 recollection Of it left the College to 60 home
as late as six o'clock; collected myself as well as
| could, that might meet my family aud others
with composure. On Saturday visited my rooms
at the College, but made no change in the dlsposl
tUre course; on Saturday evening read tue notice

Immediately taking some ground as to the charac'
ter Of my interview with Parkman for | saw that
it must become known that | had had such an In
tervew, as had appointed il first by an unsealed
note on Tuesday, and on Friday had myself called
at his house in open day and ratified the arrange
ment, ard had tn re been seen, and had probably
been overheard by the man servant, and knew
not by how many persons Dr. 2. might have been
seen entering my room, or how many persons he
might have told by the way where he was going
the interview would in all probability be kno Rn,
and must be ready 20 explain il. The question
exercised me much but on Sunday my course was
taken. | would go into Boston and be the first TO
declare myself the person as yet unknown with
whom DR.. p bad made the appointment; would
take the ground that had invited him TO the
College to pay him money, and that had paid
il accordingly. | fixed upon the sum by taking the
small note and adding interest, which it appears,
| cast enormously. If | had thought OF this
course earlier should not have deposited Pettees
check for $50 in the Charles River B ank on Sstur-
day, but should have suppressed 1t as going so far
make up the sum which | was 10 have professed
to have paid the day before, and which Petsee
knew bad by me at the hour Of interview. lthad
not occurred to me that | should ever show the
notes cancelled.n proof Of it, or | should have de-
sroyed the large note and let il beinferred that it
was gone with the missing man, and should only
have kept the small one, which was ali that could
pretend to have paid. My single thought was con-
cealment and safety-every thing else was Incl
dental to that. | was in no state TO consider my
Interior pecuniary interest-moneyi though l
needed 1t so much it was OF no account
with me in that condition of mood. II had
designed and premedtsted the homicide OF DR..
Parkman in order TO get the possession OF the notes
and cancel my debt / not only should not have
deposited Pettees check the next day, bu. should
have made some show OF getting and having the
money the morning before. l should have drawn
nv money from the Bank and taken occasion 70
mention to the Cashier that had a sum TO make up
on that day for Dr. p and the same to Henchman
when borrowed the $40. should have remarked
that was much short OF large sum that was
to pay Psrkman borrowed the money OF Hench-
man mere pocket money for the day. III had
intended the homicide of Dr. p should not
have made the appointment with him twice,
and each time in so open manner that
other persons would almost certainly know OF IT,
and should not have invited him 10 my rooms at
an hour when the College would be full of students
and others, and an hour when was most likely to
receive calls from others for that was the hour
lust after the lecture, at which persons having
business with me or in my rooms, were always
directed to call | looked into my rooms on sun
day afternoon, but did nothing. Alter the hrst
visit OF the officers took the pelyis and some OF
the Limits from the upper well and threw them into
the vault under the priyy. ! took the thorax
from the well below ard packed 1t in the tea
chest as found My own Impression has been
that this was not done till after the second visit
Of the officers, which was on Tuesday but

been made by the knife at che time OF removing
the viscera. On Wednesday / pat on BINDINGS
and made FIRE in the furnace below, having hrst
poked down the ashes. Some oil the limbs can
not remember which orhow many were consumed
at that time. This is the last bad to do with the
remains. TIE tin box was designed 10 receive the
tborax, though had not concluded where should
finally put the box. The fish hooks, tied up as
grapples, TO DE used for drawing up the parts
IN the vault whenever | should determine how to
dispose OF them and get strains enough. had
confused double object In ordering the box and
making the grapples. | had before intended to
Get such things TO send to Fayal--the
box TO hold the plants and other articles
which wished to protect from the salt water and
the sea air, and the hooks 70 be used there In OBJ
tanning CerrsIiner plants from the sea. 1t was
this previously intended use Of them that suggest
ed and mixed itself up with the idea OF the other
ratification | doubt even now to which use they
would have been applied had not used the hooks
at the time of the discovery. The tan put into the
tea chest was taken from a barrel of 1t that had
been in the laboratory for some time the
bag of tan brought in on Monday, was not used,
nor intended to be used il belonged TO quantity
obtained by me long time ago, for experiments
in tanning, and was sent In by the family 10 get IL
out OF the way. Its being sent in just at that time
was accidental. / was not aware that | had
put the knife in the chest the stick found IN the
saucer Of ink was for marking coarse diagrams on
cloth the bunch Of fled keys had been used long
ago BY me in Front st. and thrown csrelessy into
drawer; ! never examined them, and do not
know whether they would fit any Of the locks of
the College or not if there were other keys fitting
doors with which had nothing to do, suppose
thew must have been all duplicates, or keys OF
former locks lei. there by the mechanics or jantor
Lroyy nothing about them, and should never be
