The BosToN TRAGEDY.-The Boston
Chronotype gives additional particu-
lars, as follows:
The coroner's jury, upon further exam.
iuation of the remains, have ascertaiEed
to their satisfaction, that there was knife
stab on the left side, between the fifth and
sixth ribs, through into the cavity Of the
chest.
On the Monday afternoon the family
of DR.. Palkman visited the college, and,
after examining the remains. identified
them as those Of the late Dr. George
Palkman. The grounds OF identification
are not 70 be given the puplic in advance
of the inquest Instructions are given
Mr.. MerrelI, undertaken, to procure
leaden coffin, in which the bodyls direct
ed to he deposited III spirits.
1t is stated that several bones belong
ing to an arm of the body have been DIS
covered by the committee OF physicians.
Mr.. Sawin, the Cambridge expressman
says he has conveyed goods to and iro"
Cambridge for Professor Webster ever
since the erection of the college, and that
he always (previously TO the 23d OF No
vember) had free access into the profess
ors room, whenever he brought anything
10 the city for him. He says that during
the week preceding the discovery OF the
BODY the door of the professors private
room was always locked at times when 1t
used to be open. aud during that week he
was ordered by Professor Webster 70 leave
all bundles, packages, &C., for him, i'll the
way outside.
The evening addition Of the Mail says
Owing to Information obtained, II rs
said, 10y some persons employed at tie
jail overhearing a conversation between
Professor Webster aud his counsel, of
GERS Clapp aud Hopkins were despatched
last evening to make general examIA-
ton ofthe house Of the professor at Cam
bridge.
Mrs. Webster received them politely
aud interposed no objection to the search
On opening Prof WIS iesk. they dis
covered beneath quantity OF other pa
pers, the Identical note for $407, whicl
Professor Webster has stated he took VI
on the Friday that DR.. Parkman was las
seen to enter the Medical College. 81
far as the finding of this note is concerned
it only corroborates what Professor Web.
ster has stated in taking it up; but FUR
ther search produced evidence OF more
startling description.
Also, another note payable to DR.. Park
man, for $2400, dated in 1S47, and be
cominu due in 1851. The note was Sc
cured 10y mortgage. We could not learn
the month or day of the month the note
was dated, but ihe fact that note tor
the above sum, running FIVE years andl
payable in 1851, was yesterday diScoveredl
among Professor Websrer's papers, is trueI
and beyond question. |
The back Of this last named note con.
tanned numerous endorsements, but to
what amount or whether sufficient to
cover the face of it we have not been able
to learn. Another statement is, that the
note was fully Iiquidaled 10y the endorse
meuts on the back, and that the note tor
S4S7 was the only demand which Df.
Parkman held against the accused on the
day he mysleriously disappeared.
During last week several checks,
drawn by DR.. Webster on the Cambridge
Bank, were presented at the counter of
that Institution for payment. but the tel
ler's iuvariable answer was: "Mf. Web,
ster has no money here. nor has he had
for some time" We were shown check
Yesterday drawn in favor of Mr.. Cum
rnings, blacksmith in Cambridge street,
for SO 15, that was refused some ten days
since.
The services at the funeral, as might
be supposed under the circumstances,
were strictly private, none but the imne-
dlale family being present. The coffin
which contains the remains has been de-
posted in private tomb i'll the city, SO
that if occasion should arise they can be
examined hereafter. The following is
the record at the Death office:
Died, November 23, George Parkman.
aged fifty-nine years and ten months, ply
siciau born in Boston, son of Samuel aud
Sarah Parknan; cause of death, [hlank
