Trial OF DR.. Webster.
BosToN, March 2S.

The defence opened yesterday after
noon. A large number of witnesses
have been examined, testiiying to pre-
vious good character. This morning the
two daughters of DR.. Webster, Mary
and Catherine, were on the stand and
testified to their father being at home as
usual on the day Of DR.. Parkman's dis.
appearance.
The young ladies are apparently. one
about lG and the other about is years Of
age. They behaved with exceeding for
,itule and propriety in this trying situa
ton. They spoke in low, but remark
ably distinct voice, and apparently with
an intelligent and Conscientious regard to
exactness. Their delicacy and shrink
| ing temefity were sufficiently manifest to
cause every one to admire the strength
of mind by which they overcame and
controlled their feelings, which were ev-
idenlaly keenly alive to the situation Of
a beloved father. We did not sit so as
to see that fathers face during the exam.
