"But you notified DR.. Parsman to meet

This was accompanied by the statement
in which Professor Webster attempts to
explain as to his seeing 1.itlleicd, send
ing for blood, and OF inquiring about
gases from tho vault. After reading the
statement, Dr.. Putnam proceeded TO
argue as to its truthiuness. saying that It
was made when the writ of error was
still pending. Also. that Professor Wob'
ster's estate was worth several thousand
dollars, and that he was not in a strait

The previous petition from Prof. Web

ing for absolute pardon, he said, was got
up by his family, who were unwavering
in their belief in his innocence, until his
confession was communicated to them

was true.
Members Of the council have retained
