[Mr Clifford stated that FIVE persons had been sum-
rnoned to prove that person resembling DIR Parllman
about the streets of Boston, at the time of his dis
appearance and that he had been approached by differ
ent Individuals under the belief that he DIR Park,
man. The person was unknown TO the Government
The obecI introducing the witnesses was to explain
the testimony offered by the defence in relation to DIR
Parkmaas being Friday, Nov. 23d, subsequent
to the time at which the Government contends he was
murdered by the Defendant. The Attorney General
did not know how far this might be proper and
he therefore laid it before the Court for their direction

contrary to universal practice. brief discussion
took place, when Shaw G. j. decided that the evidence
was nadmissabe.
George w. Field keep the toll house on Craigie's
Bridge The clock on the Court House at East Cam
bridge, put up last fall. 1t has not kept accurate
time. 1t frequently stops.
! Cross-Examined.- have noticed difference be-
tween that clock and other clocks-haIf an hour or
quarter of an hour difference, sometimes faster and
sometimes slower
Samuel ID. Fuller.-My place of business is at the
dollhouse of West Boston Bridge, Cambridge side
The clock the Court House has not been am accu-
rate tmepiece all the time, it has stopped, and been
faster and slower than my time. Here the govern
ment rested its case.
] The Hon Pllny Merrlck then commenced the clos
ing argument for the defence.
He alluded to the embarrassment under which he la
bored. lie spoke OF the transcending in imDor
lance and interest any that has been for long pe-
riod before court for adjudication. The prisoner at
the bar incarceraed in prison cells alone and
unaded, while all the dark and damning evidence was
arrest the Of events. He suffered all the eyi.
dence to spread far and wide, without offering an
explanation OF the events connected with the disappear.
He waited for the excitement subsidszEhat he
might have an impartial trial by his country.
The government charges that on Nov. 23I, DIR Park.
disappeared and that the prisoner murdered him
To establish the charge the government must prove the
death of George ParKman, that his death was caused
by the agency Of person. that the prisoner at the
bar was that agent, and that he did it with malice
afoethought If any of these facts fails then the
charge for murder fails though less crime may have
been proved.
No one fact has been produced to show that any one
of these great facts has been sustained. The govern
ment has not shown, by any direct evidence, tina
George Parkman is Dead thst his death was caused
by the direct agency Of any one individual
BY direct evidence, the government had attempted
to show that DR. Parkman and the prisoner had met or

the defendant at the bar with his death Did the par.
ties separate! Mr. Thompson testifes that at 20 min
utes after p. M. he met DR. Parkman in Causeway
street. No attempt has been made to mpeach the
witness. If, the, Mr. Thompson saw DR. Parkman in
Causeway street, he saw him long after the time al
which the government contends DR. Parknan held his
