was open till after the lecture; that day DIR
| Wares lecture room door WAS closed by
spring; after putting away DIR. Holmes
| thiags, | came down and locked the front
/ door; about fifteen minutes past two O'Clock
DR.. Holmes went ont; he is generally the
last one to go out of the building; then
went dow. stairs to prepare the furnace for
next day; always save coal of an afternoon,
cleared out the stoves that warmed the
anatomical and medical lecture rooms;
they are both in the same cellar, close un-
der the front steps, then cleaned out the
stove in the back private room. The
anatomical room is up stairs; chemical
and medical rooms below; the former in the
west, the latter in the east wing. Then
went down to Dr.. Webster's laboratory
door 10 clear up his room; the door that
leads To my cellar, under the stairs leading
| from DIR. Webs,er's small room to his la
boratory, found boted on the inside; then
went round to the left door that led 10 his
laboratory, and found that fast; put in my
key, found | could not get it in, and that it
was boiled; | heard him in there, walking;
heard the water running up stairs, and tri-
| ed the door that led from the lecture room
to the front entry.
Here the court took a brief recess, after
which Littlefeld resumed:
Left Prof. Webster's room. Here
is evidently lapse in the testimony. =
Saw Messrs. Clapp, Kinsley, Fuller and
Riel; came in by the she'd; Clapp said
he wished to speak with me; said he was
going to search every foot of land in this
neighborhood, and wished to search the
college, SO that people around might not
| object to having their houses searched
told him | would show him all parts OF
the college to which had access. We
then saw DR.. Jacob Bigelow in the en-
try; we all went into my parlor and talk
ed. DR.. Bigelow said, show them eve
rything. Some one said, let us begin
with DR.. Webster's rooms. That is
what / call the laboratory. While talk
ing in North Grove street with Mr.. Cal
houn, on Sunday, ! saw DR.. Webster
coming into Front street from Bridge
street; remarked that there was one OF
our Professors coming; when DR.. Web
ster saw me he came right up to me-
The first word he said to me was, .'Mr
Littlefeld, did you see Dr. Pa skman in
the latter part Of last week." / told him
| did; he asked me when l saw him;
said last Friday, about half past one o.
clock; he said, where did you see him
l said about this spot He then asked
me which way he was going; l said he
was coming right towards the College
| told him was standing in front of the
entry, looking out at the front door; he
had his cane in his hand and struck il
down upon the ground and said that is
the very time that paid him four hun
dred and eighty-three dollars and sixty
cents.
remember he put the cents on; told
him did not see DR.. Parkman come in
or 60 out of the college, for went d.
rectly into DR.. Wares lecture room and
laid down on settee. He said he
counted the money down to Parkman in
his lecture room. He said Dr. Parkman
grabbed the money from the table with
out counting it, and ran as fast as he
could 60, two or three steps at time
He said Parkman told him that he would
60 with him to Cambridge and discharge
a mortgage, and Webster said |: suppose
he did, | have not been over to the reg
lister of deeds to see. He said this was
the first he had known of it; he had
read it in the Transcript. He was there
said to be engaged to meet an unknown
gentleman, he had come to see about1it
for he was the unknown gentleman; he
said he had been to see DR.. Francis
Parkman; he then went away. When
Webster spoke to me he used to look me
in the face, his head up; he did not then,
but looked down and seemed confused
and agitated. / never saw him look SO
before; saw his face thoughtful and he
looked pale. cannot say which way
he went, but think it was towards Cam
bridge.
On Monday could not get into hi:
room to make fire The first / knew
of his being in the college, my wife tolt
me that DR.. Samuel Parkman had beer
there to see DR.. Webster asked hel
how he got in, seeing all the doors were
kept locked. | went up the laborator,
stairs, and saw DR.. Samuel Parkmar
and Dr. Webster in the back room; the,
were talking about the old DR.. George
Packman. | overheard a conversation
about some money.
There is nothing new in the balance
Of the testimony of Littlefeld
! Littlefeld was about being cross-ex.
amined, when the Court adjourned. Hi:
evidence is positive against Webster.
A JUST VERplcr-AGAINsr A SLAM.
