PARKMAN LIVED AS
RECLUSE FOR so YEARS
Murder of Father Cast Shadow Over
the Life Of a PhiIanthropist Who
Left Boston Charities Nearly
a Million.

Boston, Sept. 23.-The will Of George
f. Parkman, who left about SS,O00,000,
win be contested by his cousin. Francis
Parkman OF New York. Counsel for the
latter entered appearance in the Suffolk
probate court yesterday, The attorneys
are Charles 4. Perkins and Elmer l..
Briggs. The testator left the bulk Of
his estate TO tue city Of Boston for the
Improvement and maintenance OF the
common and parks.
George F. Parkman, the terms OF
whose will were made public Monday
lived life OF singular quiet and lone.
illness.
Il is supposed that be choose to live
alone because Of the tragedy which came
into his life when his father, George
Parkman, was killed by Prof. Webster
in the old Harvard medical school. That
was almost go years ago and during
all that period OF his life of almost 81
years, George Il parkman lived as few
men Of his wealth and social position
have chosen to i've, alone with MS books
and his three servants in his home on
Beacon Hin overlooking the common
to which he will great part of his for
tune.
The murder of his father was one Of
the notorious crimes OF the last century
and the trial that followed was equally
sensational.
The trial began in Boston in March,
1850. and among those who figured in
it were Attorney General Clifford, who
afterward became governor, Chief Jus
tiee Shaw and Edward ID. Sohier, of
Boston. Daniel Webster, whose name
is often mentioned in connection with
the trial, did not participate in it in
any way.
George 7. Parkman was graduated
from Harvard with the class Of 1874 and
from the Dane law school in 1916. lie
applied his legal knowledge in the man
agement Of his properties, but never in
the active practice Of the profession.
In more than half a century that he
spent in the Beacon street home he
went over the same routine day after
day.
He Travelled little. Zach day he took
three books from the Boston nthenaeum
and they were returned the next day
With the books in his own large library
and the supplies from the Athenaeum
he spent his time. He worshiped rcgt-
larly in Kings chapel, but he went to
no clubs and made few social appear

BooMERANG's LATEST ATTACK

? The Republican had hoped that this
campaign would go by without the
Boomerang dragging the university
into the political mire, but it was
doomed to disappointment. Without q
scintilla OF evidence. with nothing but
spite and spleen to vent, ii conjures
up some phantoms OF a disordered, dis
gruntled mind and aings them at tn.
university management-a manage
ment now very Largely in the hams
OF the democratic party and upon tn,
highest of non-partisan grounds. This
paper had decided not to make refer
ence to the bitter fling against Miss
Hebaid and the charge of rottenness
against the institution as a whole, but
the de%spicable utterances of the local
paper-like its Trades of old-are find
ing their way into other state papers,
notably the Cheyenne Leader, and are
therefore worthy of some attention. l.
Is hardly probable that the university
a ever hope to find a friend in the
office from which these ISLANDERS
emanate. The PEOPLE of this town and
the board OF trustees nus make up
their minds hat there is nothing too
mean, too low down or too outrageous
fer publication in Its columns. Not
satisfied with doing its utmost to ruin
the institution a year ago, it now re
turns to the attack because Of the fact
that one of its employees was not deem
ed worthy of unemployment by the
board of trustees. This is the man
whom the Boomerang reported on a
former occasion as appealing to the
membership Of a city church to pro
tect him from his enemies. and this be
fore any person had good reason to be.
lieve that the ak would fall. THE
guilty fee when no man pursueth."
The Boomerang is proving in a nan
ner most conclusive that the employee
it is trying to boost into the legislature

merly held, but that he would make a
