The question then arises who murder
ed DR.. Parkmani They would bring evi-
dence to show tho nature Of the relations
which existed between him and DR.. Web
ster.
La 1912 some pecuniary transactions
commenced between them. DR. Webster
at that time was so much embarrassed that
all his personal property was under mort
gage 10 DR.. Parkman. DR.. Parkman was
accustomed TO make loans--lberal bat ex.
act. In 1912 he lent the prisoner $500
and took his note which not being paid al
maturity, Dr.. Parkman took a mortgage
o. oil the prisoners property, including a
cabinet Of minerals, TO secure the note and
other dues.
After this, Dr. Webster made pro-
posal to Mr.. Robert q. Shaw to advance
him money on the cabinet of Minerals
Mr.. Shaw lent him twelve hundred dollars.
But when DR.. Parkman learned Of he con-
veyance of this cabinet to his brother-n-
law, he was highly incensed, regarding it
as fraud. From this time he pursued
the prisoner as debtor in whom he had
lost confidence.
DR.. Webster promised he would pay
DR.. Parkman when he had obtained paw
for the sale of tickets in his lectures. The
Lectures commenced Nov. Z, and on the
9th DR.. Parkman called on DR.. Webster
and insisted on the payment Of his debt.
DR.. Webster requested him to wait till he
received the money for his tickets. On
the 18th DR.. Parkman called on the pay.
ing agent 10 see how matters stood. lie
called again on the 18th, and threatened
a trustee process, and sent a message 10
DR.. Webster calling him dishonest and a
dishonorable man. On the 10Th he called
on Dr. Webster and declared with great
decision tha, something mus, be done,
The next day DR.. Webster wrote him a
note. On the day previous 10 the dsap-
poarance of Dr.. Parkman, he rode out to
see DR.. Webster at atCambridge. On Nov.
23d DR.. Webster called at tho house of
DR.. Parkman and made on appointment 10
meet DR.. Parkman at the Medical College
the latter being invited TO come 10 his
rooms a, o'clock and ge his pay.
This was an hour when the College was
vacant. In tho meantime DR.. Webster
had received a great part of this money
for tickets and paid il away. lie saw Mr..
Petty the ticket agent, on the 23d; the
latter was anxious 10 pay him over what
proceeds remained in his hands, and then
handed him the amount-S90. llo told
DR.. Webster what DR.. Parkman he'd said
about irusteelng him, 10 which Webster
replied: you will have no further iroub-
le with him; hava settled the matter. -
But it appears in ,hi, transaction Webster
falsifed. Instead Of paying the 500 TO
DR.. Porkman, nc deposited j; the next day
in the Charles River Bank al Cambridge
Dir. Webster remained al his room on
Friday till late hour; he was there again
on Saturday and Sunday; the doors that
were usually left open were then fastened.
DR.. Parkmans friends were making search
for him, on Saturday, and advertised him
in the papers. DR.. Webster held pecul-
lar relations with the friends of DR.. Park
man. DIR. Francis Parkman was his pas
tor, but the first disclosure that DR.. Web
sler made 10 the friends Of DR.. Parkman
that the latter had been on Friday in his
company, was in the afternoon on Sunday.
This excited the surprise Of Doctor Fran
els Parkman.
Webster then stated that DR.. Parkman
came TO the Medical College about half
- l.. 4
he paid him the money: that DR.. Parkman
seized the money and stared Off without
leaving any evidence Of having received
it. That Webster called his attention to
the fact, end that Dr. Parkman turned
back, and dashed his pen across the sig
nature of the note, and said he would at
tend 10 the cancelling the mortgage. Or.
Webster's statements respecting this trans
action could be shown 10 be very contra
dictory.
The Thursday after the Disappearance
Of DR.. Parkman, was Thanksgiving day:
and although there were no lectures in the
College, Dr. Webster was there-no fire
was necessary, but yet such one as new
er was known 70 be used before was kept
up in his furnace. He had also at the same
period purchased fsh-hooks, and had a
graphic made with thom. They were tied
with marlin, and this agreed in compari.

thigh in the privy. The search was com

went away; and on that day and Tuesday,
it was continued by the officers in com.
