Several witnesses were next called who swore positively that they were well acquainted with Dr. Perlman, and that they saw him on the 23d of November, after two o'clock—some saw him about three, and two swore that they saw. him about five o'clock. They all fixed the time by certain circum stances which enabled them to speak positiveV.= Here the defence closed. ' hisacw.--211--The counsel for the prosecution offered rebutting .t e stimony. Daniel Harwood, a dentist of much experience, believed that a dentist could identify his own work, and that Dr. 'Keep was cornett in believing the teeth found were those ho made for Dr. Parkman. Drs. Coleman and Tucker, dentists, broth agreed with the preceding witness in opinion, though not quite so positive. It is understood that the Prisoner's family were wholly unprepared for the terrible result. They had secured their own passages and that of Pro fessor Webster, at his direction, for Fayal, for the 20th of this month. They all along had the strong est persurisicni of his innocence ; and were com pletely prostrated by the overwhelming intelli gence of his conviction. ' Oa Monday morning the heavy sentence of the law waspronounced. The demeanor of Professor Webster (says the Boston Journal,) while waiting in one of the looms of the court house the time as. signed for the sentence, was that of a man duly im pressed With the solemn ceremony about to be en acted' : He pleased to the window of the TOom pad looking nple the sun, remarked that iii the day of worprosperity , we hardly mall:ad thensiturwodeor sins; that his sins had been many, and that his trust was in the merciful Gat He was glad that he had not been cut off to the midst of his sins, and that time for:repentance had been granted to him. He, had nearly done with this world, and for his own fate he was prepared, except when hethought of his family.' Here his fortitude forsook him and he exclaimed, "What will become of them ;” coming'down to the court room, he was seiz ed with a trembling of the limbs, and the officers were obliged' to support him. Chief Justice Shaw, in performing the solemn duty devolvgd upon him, expressed the sorrow that he felt in pmnotmcing the sentence of the law, but-, justified the law in its punishment. He recapitu- I lated the charge and the proof; dwelt on the enor mity of the crime, and concluded by the following sentencel That you, John W. Webster, be removed from this place, and detained in close custody in the prison of thiS county, and thence taken, at such time as the Executive Government oft this Com monwealth may by their warrant • appoint, to the place of execution, and there be hung by the neck until you are dead--and may God, in his infinite goodness, hare mercy on your soul! On hearing his sentence, Dr. Webster sunk back heavily on his seat and wept. Ile was afterwards removed by the Sheriff. In the afternoon of Monday, (says the Boston Bee) Prof. Webster's wife and three daughters vis ited him in his cell. We have no pen, nor heart, nor wish to describe the scene. It was touching Bbyond comparison. Mrs. Webster is a woman of great firmness, and has evidently for es een the ne , necmsity of preparation for the crisis which has ready come au this most trying struggle. She en , counters adversity with that fortitude which be comes woman of her age and family. - She seems to realise, in this dark and most gloomy period the necessity of forming herself with the active virtue called courage, especially 'hen three young and tender hearts are leaning upon her for worldly sheath to Sustain them tmder_ this terrible bkow. coniiiiirin. an the circumstances, the interview between Professor Webster and his excellent and Much to be 'pitied. family, was one characterized by great calumeni-and self-possession on the part of the wife and daughters. The visit was of about one hour in duration. Trial and Conviction of Dr. Webster. The papers in every direction are commenting on the conviction of Dr. Webster on such inconc In sive testimony. The Harrisburg Telegrdph says : Oar readers are doubtless all familiar with the circninstanceS of this case, and of the trial.; it is therefore needless fur us to recapitulate them here. The crime 'tilt Was set forth by the prosecution, was one-of the most cruel, vindictive, and in every way'revolti4 and abhorrent murders ever perpe tinteilixt tls Stir any other country.
