DELBEnATIos OF THE JuRY.-It is understood
that the jury, after going Saturday night, at
first deliberated in silence for ten minutes.
They then voted on the question whether the re-
mains were those Of DR.. George Parkman. There
was unanimous ''yEA."
On the second question, whether DIR. Webster
murdered him, there were eleven yeas and one nay.
The nay came from Mr.. Benjamin IL. Greene. He
stated his point of doubt and after some discussion
he declared it removed.
INCIDENTS, &c.-The family of DIR. Webster was
not informed of the verdict the night II was rem
dered. Friends, however, undertook the task Of
preparing their minds for il. The awful disclo-
sures were made TO them on Sunday morning by
rending, and the walls and shrieks could not be
concealed from the passers-by.
Every effort has been made by these friends TO
assuage the grief Of the afflicted wife and daugh-
tiers, who up to late hour confidently expected an
acquittal.
A letter ofcondolence presented them on Sun
day afternoon signed by the heads Of all the prin-
cpal families of Cambridge, including Hon. Ed
ward Everett, Jared Sparks, Professor Norton,
Judge Fay, etc.
This morning the immense crowd retired from
the court and its vicinity in silence and with
out the least disturbance.
Judge Fay gave ii up that his friend DIR. Webster
was guilty man, after hearing his own speech on
Saturday evening.
Anecdotes of the cruelty of DR.. Webster in early
life are now told by persons who were acquainted
with him.
Letters from Boston state that the person who
wasitaken for DR.. Parkman, by the witnesses at the
trial Of Professor Webster, Mr.. Bliss, Of Spring
field. he having been at the places, and at the times
testified to by them.
II is now ascer tanned that DIR. Webster did take Q
grain of strychnine the night Of his arrest, he
having confessed il to his physician, DIR. Clark.
So far as we can learn, the verdict, however un-
expected, is now considered righteous and JUS
