THE WEesTER-PARkMAN CASE,

No modern crime Is more celebrated
than the murder OF DR.. George Park
man by Prof John W. Webster Of
Harvard college. This because both
the slayer and the slain were distin-
guished men, and also by reason of
the grotesQuely horrible circumstances
attending the crime
Doctor Parkman was a wealthy and
widely known citizen OF Boston, and
at the time of his removal was sixty
years OF age. He was a man OF most
peculiar appearance. His face was
unusually long, and terminated in a
sharp chin, protruding to such an ex-
tent that II seemed deformity His
head was bald and down the center of

that his skull had been soldered to-

and was remarkably active and ener-
getic for one OF his years
Webster was an entirely different
type of man, being short. round and
heavy set. with rosy and cheerful
countenance. He was popular. not
withstanding the fact that he wore
side whiskers. and his attainments
may be judged from the fact that he
held the chair OF chemistry at Har-
ward. and also in the Boston Medical
college, where he had private offices
and laboratories.
1t was on Friday. November %. 1S49,
that Doctor Parkman disappeared.
He was man Of such regular habits
that the neighbors set their clocks by
him, and when he failed to come home
for dinner his wife was much
alarmed She told the neighbors. but
they laughed at her fears. and per
suaded her that nothing could be
wrong. Next morning. however. the
doctor still being absent and no mes
sage having come from him. Mrs
Parkman was seriously disturbed
and she notified the police. Then a
