business 10 come ~ is the apportionment OF the
State This viii probably occupy several days.
Afterward the case Of Prot Webster will be take0

good authority for redlrning whaG we stated on

Prof Webster sent in n petition 10 the Council
praying for a commutatJn Of punishment. This
petition he subsequently Withdrew, intmating that
he should replace i; by another, in which the
grounds Of bis pray er for a Communication OF punish

The Boston Journal gives the following version
of the same story: The report in circulation on
Saturday that Prof. Webster had written a letter
to the Executive, cOnfessiug that ne "kllled Dr..
Parkman, was incorrect. We have reason to be.
Heve that Prof Webster has been advised to make
q confession and that he will, before long, address
a letter to the Executive, admitting that he killed
Dr. Parkman, but denying that it was done in any
way which would constitute the crime Of murder
