THE MURDER OF DR.. GEORGE PARKMAN..
PROBABILITY OF ANOTHER MURDER.

We copy the following from the Boston
Mail for what it is worth. II is like great
many other things said in this case, but vague
rumor and uncertain conjecture:
n The grand jury Of the county of Suffolk
commenced yesterday the investigation of
the case of DR.. John w. Webster, charged
with the murder Of DR.. George Parkman.-
. Foriy-two witnesses have been summoned
to give evidence; among them are the ex-
amining physicians and chemists, Drs. Win
slow Lewis, Chas 7. Jackson, Dr., Keep and
others; the officers of the police engaged in
finding the remains Of Dr.. Parkman, and Mr..
Little6eld,r the man who found them
Among those who will testify are Messrs.
Isaiah and Leonard Fuller, iron founders, in
North Grove street, few rods from the col
lege, who saw DR.. Parkman 60 into the
building at half past one clock on the 23d
q of November last, and did not see him come
G out again. -f.. .-,., t.-s.. ...,,. %. n
1t i. also said that cabman will testify
q that he, on the night of the alleged murder,
took DR.. Webster from his house in Cam
bridge, about ten O'Clock in the evening,
brought him into the city and left him at the
Medical College, where he remained all
night, and that he took him back in his cat
in the morningto Cambridge. as- ae
A new feature has been added 20 the
ease, by the knowledge of singular disap
pearance that took place on the night pre-
vious 10 the murder, in this street. 1t is q
fact which has thus far been kept studionsly
secre, by the authorities. II appears that &
young woman, about % years Of age, namee
Ca,hariue Sproule, left the residence Of MIR
Caleb Howe, No. 30 South Grove street, OF
the evening of the 22d Of November last
and has not been seen or heard Of since
She was rather good looking young wo
man, Of Irish pareniage, and resided in III.
family Of MIR. Howe as domestic. (

the murder Of DR.. Parkman, (buried in tn
dirt, on what is called the New Jail Lands,
