walking ai2os the streets and in his cwn
house. On Friday, Nov 20, Webster called
ct DIR. Farkman,s house and invited him
20 como to his lecture room at half past
that day. 1t seems that DR.. Parkman &C
cepted this invitation, for he was never
seen alive again.
That day Professor Webster lecturcd
from 12 to and was succeeded by the
celebrated DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes,
who lectured from l till 2. A number Of
people who knew DIR. Parkman by sight
claim that they saw him approach the
medical college about O'Clock that day
The evidence of these people was not GER
tain, and the person on whose statements
the further movements of Dr. Parkman
were based was the servant who gave him
Professor webster's message.
After DR.. Holmes had closed his lecture
that day the janitor of the building started
to put the various rooms in order. For
the first time In his memory he found all
the doors leading to Professor Webster 3

MATT PlNKERTON on CRIME.

Tho Detective Gives His Views at . Meet.
ing of Chicago Ministers.
Matt Pinkerton gave detectives view
on criminality at tho last monthly meet
ing Of the Chicago Ministers association
He said in part:
awful deeds possess for many q pecul-
lar and morbid fascination, and around
tho crime of murder-rightly considered
the most heinous Of all those interdicted
by the laws of God and man-many throw
q glamour of false sentimentality that is
not extended to other and smaller offenses.
A wife murderer under sentence of death
Is often supplied with flowers and dainties
by women who would hold up their hands
in holy horror at the sight Of q boy arrested
for picking pocket.
Most children early manifest decided.
disposition to destroy animal and insect
life. Many fond mothers heart has
thrilled with dismay ut discovering her
beloved infant prodigy In the act of pull
ing of the wings Of u fly or decapitating a
toad. If these early manifestations Of a
desire to Stay are not chargeable to an in
herent germ or impulse, how arc We to ac-
count for them? Something of the same
kind is observable in matured manhood,

eraQon, and Littlcfold, having the medic
al rooms to himself, began an investiga-
ton On his own account While he was 1t
work he Kept mis- wife ON watch. In this
Investigation he with q crOwbar broke
through q closet wall at the bottom of .
vault, where dissected remains were de-
positetl, and there he saw the butchered
remnants Of a human body. consisting of .
pelvis, thigh and q portion of one leg be-
low the knee. The janitor notified Drs.
Bigelow and jackson and the police. These
men appeared at once, and among the re-
mains were found three towels, each
marked with the initial "W,'' which lit
tlefield recognized as the property Of Pro
fessos Webster.
Itis unnecessary here to tell how stem BY
step tie chain of evidence fastened about
Professor Webster. In At of uncontrol-
liable anger he had killed Dr. Parkman
after the latter had charged him with be-
ing q robber.
When he realized what he had done. the
thought of his family and Of his own pres
ervation impelled him to destroy the body
and give the impression that DR. Parkman
had committed suicide in the waters Of Bos-
ton harbor.
1t is not a little remarkable that this
man, surgeon ana chemist, SnOulo nave
done his work SO blunderingly. 1t is true
that for short Time by reason of his high
character, he succeeded in diverting sus-
piciOn from himself, but as soon as sus-
picion was turned In his direction, the evil
denco came crOwding in with overwhelm-
ing force, A human body is not q large
affair, and had he placed it in the furnace
1t might have been cremated and disposed
Of at once, but in his awful anxiety he
placed part here and part there, and de-
lection was inevitable. Even the teoth Of
the murdered man, which had been filed
with gold a short time before, were found
in the furnace, and the dentist who did tho
filling identified the fragments rs part Of
DR.. Parkman.
Professor Webster was at once arrested
and his trial and conviction soon followed
He was sentenced to death, and his execu-
ton took place on Aug. 80, 1850.
Before his death Professor Webster made
q full confession, which we have every
reason to believe was truthful, but the
most remarkable thing about it is that the
evidence Of the detectives and experts was
according to his statement, wrong in every
particular, save that he committed the
murder. ALFRED r. CALHOUN

"The most popular works of fiction

time to reform criminals is before they be-
come criminals-that is, before they have
lost all good impulses and made wrong

lesser crimes. We are SO familiar with

IF people were brought to appreciate
the fact that they carry within their

erals. Up to 1s47 DR.. Webster had been
able to pay on this note but little more
than $50 and the interest. At that time
DIR. Parkman joined with some other
friends in making another loan to Pro.
fessor Webster for an additional 81, 600.
making the whole with interest, 81, 432.
This note was protected by similar mort.
gage.
Professor Webster with increasing re-
sponsibilities, although his habits were
good, found as the time went on that he
not only could not meet the principal, but
had great difficulty in paying the interest
on this increased obligation.
DR.. Parkrlan, forgetting their old friend
ship and thinking only of the money that
was due him, now began to make frequent
visits to Professor Webster's Office urging
him to pay, and at last intimating that he
was not being treated fairly.
At this time Professor Webster was lee
turing every day TO the chemistry class in
Harvard college. On Nov. 20, 1919, Park
man called on Webster at the lecture room
before the lecture was over. Waiting i'm
patiently till tho last Of the students was
gone, in the most violent manner he de-
manded that the professor should pay him.
Webster, nervous and irritable, ordered
Parkman from his Office and the latter
refusing to gu, stormy interview follow

Forty-six years ago and for nearly two
centuries prior to that time as indeed to
this day, there are no names better known
in New England than those Of Parkman
and Webster. Both families have added to
the glory Of our country's history through
the statesmen. orators, lawyers and scien-
fists they have given to the public.
The two members Of these two great
families in whom we are most interested
are Professor Webster Of Harvard univer-
sity and DR.. George Parkman, each well
known In his day-the one for his great
wealth and the other for his intellectual
qualifications.
There are men still living who can re-
member this celebrated case. Crimes
equally atrocious were committed before
and have been committed since, but the
standing of these men makes this case one
Of the most remarkable in the history of
crime.
On Nov. 90, 1S49, Professor Webster was
charged with the murder Of DR.. Parkman
on the following counts: l. Charging Web
ster with the murder OF Parkinan with a
KNIFE. =. Inc numbering OF Parkman with
manner. y: The murder of Parkman by

BRIGHAM CITY, Sept. Gin u
nickle is no name for it-why. the Re-
publicans of Box Elder county are TO
put it tenderly, up stump and rat
tied in the extreme.
No county convention was called to
elect delegates to the recent Repupll-
can territorial convention. The out
come of this was that a great deal too
many enthusiastic followers of the
princely Hamilton went to Salt Lake
bent on a seat in the convention. Inc
surplus of delegates fighting Tor the
limited number of seats, caused
split and row which, 1t is SAID, mas
not yet blown over.
Right on top of this comes another
nice mess of things. A Republican
primary was called for last Wednesday
night. About forty people, including
half a dozen women, responded At
this primary five delegates were chos-
en- to a county convention that was to
be held next day. These county con-
ventions usually consist of about
seyenty-fve members, but it seems an
experiment was to be made or one
consisting of but eighteen members

members to represent the remaining
twenty precincts in the county. Dem
ocrats commenting on such form of
representation say that it may be Re
publicanism, but they vow it hasn't
the faintest smack of Democracy.
Well, at this primary the members
were selected for the county conven-
ton; also for the judicial and sena
toria1 conventions to be held in Logan
and Brigham respectively. yet no one
knew on what date these conventions
were to be held-another puzzle.
Accordingly, the so-called county
convention was held next day. Instead
Of doing the mapped-out business they
Topped over; repudiated all their work
of the previous day and called other
primaries for some distant day. Great
work that
Over all these objectionable bIund-

Mrs Christensen, an aged lady liv-
ing in the Third ward, died very sud-
denly last week She had been out
milking her COW. She returned to the
house, feeling about as well as usual.
She laid down on the lounge to rest;
to all appearance sank into a profound
sleep, and when an effort was made to
rouse her she was found to be dead.
The funeral was held Sunday. The
deceased was the mother of Mrs Alex

is done the club will have to do it,;
being cognizant that it is of the ut
most Importance for the organization
to have control of all the machinery
of the Republican party in this city
and county-the executive committee
has decided to take charge of the reg
fstration and relieve the weak and
feeble city committee to look on while
the Oquirrh does the work and gathers
in all the credit.
Perhaps nothing better by way of
explanation of the plans of the club
can be printed than the letter itself.
This missive, by the way, has been
handled very quietly and it was the
intention of the managers to say moth
| ing on the outside concerning it and
its objects But all these matters find
their way to light and this communica-
ton is printed exclusively this morn
| ing with great deal of satisfaction.
Here is the appeal in its entirety:
: Dear Sir-We are pleased to inform
you that the work of the club, under
the policy as originally outlined, is
progressing in most satisfactory
manner. The club is now fully or
ganized as one of the most potent fac
tors enlisted for the good of the Re
publican party, whose success in the
present campaign is so dear to all our
| hearts.
: In accomplishing these results in the
short space of six weeks, the club is
greatly indebted to it's members, in
dividually and collectively, and we de-
sire to thank you personally for the
valuable assistance you have thus rem
dered
The house-to-house canvass has been
! Completed the compilation of the same
is now in progress, and when complete
we will check up with the registrar, IN
order to determine who the delinquents
are, that we may see them properly
placed on the registra ton Books during
the week Of revision, commencing
Sept. 80.
This work will be the most expensive
shat the club has yet undertaken.
At the organization of the club we
established the precedent of making
the club self-supporting from member
ship dues, refusing individual donations
from all sources Thus far we have
been able to keep our expenses within
the limit of those receipts, and we hope
! ito continue so.
Our expenses for the next thirty days
will be greater proportionately how
ever, than they have been heretofore,
and in order that we may meet our
bills promptly it becomes necessary
for the members to keep their dues
fully paid up. We therefore request
you to be kind enough to pay the cur
rent months dues, if you have not al
ready done so.
/ If you could conveniently pay one
or two months in advance, it would be
VERY acceptable and greatly appreei-
ated by
