I did not know, or thirik, or care where I
should hit hini, nor how hard, nor what the of

and there was nothing to break the force ofthe
blow; he fell instantly upon the pavement;
Ahem was no second blow I -lie did not move
stooped down Over him, and ho seemed to be
lifeless, blood flowed from his mouth, and I
got a sponge and wiped it away ; I got some
ammonia and'applied-it to .his Hose, but with

tempts to resuscitate him, but I found he was
absolutely dead ; in my horror and conaterna
•tion Ivan instinctively to the doors and bolted
them—the dooie'ofthe lectureri! -- lom and oftho
laboratory below; and then what was Ito do 7
It never occurred to me-to go out and declare
what lied been done, and obtain assistanee ;
OEM nothing but the alternative of a successful
movement and concealment pfthe body on the
one hand, and of infamy and destruction on the
other. The first thingi did us poen us I could
do anything, was to draw the body into the
4t.tiv.ate_teem__ adjoining,Aerisl ...took_off—th o
clothes and began putting theirs into the fire,
which rim' burning. in the upper laboratory;
they were all. consumed there that afternoon,
with papers, pocket book and whatever they
contained. I did not examine the-pockets nor
remove anything except the witch; I saw that
or the chain of it, hanging out. took it and '
threw it over the bridge as I went to Cam
bridge. lily next move was to got the body in
to the sink which stands in the small private
room, by setting the body partially erect against
the corner, turd by getting up into the sink my-.
self. I succeeded in drawiag it up' there ; it
was entirely-dismembered,it was quickly done,
rie a work of terrible and desperate necessity.— •
The only instrument was the -knife found by
the oflicets-in the tea cheat, which I - kbpt,for
cutting corks. I,mode no use of the Turkisl -
knife; as it wee calledat the w trial ; that had
lOng been kept on my parlor mcbtel-piece in
Cambridge, as a curious ornament:Ally - dough.
term frequently cleaned it, hence the marke'of
oil and polishing found on it. I had lately
brought - it into Boston to gettho Biker sheath
repaired.
Whiludlamembering the body a stream of
Cdchituato water was: running through the sink.
_cuter ing off—the-blood-in—u--pipe—that—passed :
down through the lower laboratory. There
must hare been a lank in the pipe, for . the ceil
ing below wee stained immediately around it.
There was a five burning in the furnace of
the lower laboraficri; Littlefield:yes mistaken
in thinking there had never been a fire there ;
he had probably never kindlett one, but I had
done it myself, several times ; I had l done it
that dayliir the pdrpose of making oxygen
gas; the heed add viscera wero put Into that
furnace that day, and fuel heaped on ; did not
examine at night to ,eoe to what degree they
were consented ; some 'of the extremities were
put in.there, I - believe, on that day. the.ppl
vie, and some of the limbs, perhaps, were all
put under time lid of the lectiii'e'reinii table, in
what is called the well, a deep ;ink lined with
lead; a stream of Ctichittiate was turned into

the thorax was pot into a' similar well in the
lower lab Oratory, which I filled with water-and
threw quantity of .potash which I found
there. Tlus disposition of the remains was net
changed till after the visit of the officers on
Monday. When the body had been thus die.
posed of, I cleared away ull.tracOs of what had
bten done.
I think the stick with which the fetal blow

stump of a huge grape 'vino—say "two inches
in uhaneter and two feet long. ono of

the effect of certain chemical Acids in colo . iing

been used as intdaded, and exhibited to the stu

as I could, that I might, meet my family nod ,
others with composure. On Saturday I visited
my rooms at the Collegir, but made no change
in the disposition-of the remains,-and laid no

il,'as going to make the sum which I
was to have professed to hate paid the day be
fore, and which Petted knew I had by me at
the hour of interview. It had not occurred to
me that 1 ; should ever ehow the boleti cancelled
tn-proof of it, or I should have destroyed the
large note and let it be inferred that it wee
gone with the missing man, and I tibould only
have kept the email ono which was all that I
could pretend to have paid. My single thought
was conecalmdnt and safety—every thing eke
wee incidthital to that. I was 'in no state to
cunsider my ulterior pecuniary interest—man
ay; though I needod it so much•it was of•ho
account with me in that condition of mind.
_lf_Lhad_designed-and-Premeditated-the hoot . -

session of the notes and cancel my disk, I not
only should not have deposited Pettee's check
the next day; but I should have made some
show of getting and having the namiey 'the

should have remarked that I was so much .
short of a large sum that I was to pay Turk

and each time in so open n manner the other
persons would almost certainly know of t, and
I should not have invited him_ to my rthi,:me at
an hour when the College would be full of
students and others, and an hour when I woe
most likely to reeeiy_e_calls from others; for
that was the hour just after the lecture,' at
which persons having biisiness with me pr in,
my roomy, were alw aye directed to call. I
looked into my MIDIS on Sunday afternoon, but
../
did oiling. .After the first visit of tho officers
took the pelvis and some of the. limbo from
the upper well and threw them into-the vault
under the privy. I took thorax from the well
below, and packed it in the tea chest as found.
• Aly own imPreasion has been that this was not
done CH after the recond visit of the officers
which was on Tuesday; but Kingsly's testi
many- shows that it must have been done
sooner. The perforation of the thorax had
been made by the knife at the'time of removing
.the_iiicera._On_Wednearlay.-.l_put-on-kind
lingo and made' a fire in-the furnace below,.
having first pbkcd down . the 011i108. 50010 of

the last I had to do with the remains. The tin

I hod nut concluded where I should finally put
the box. . Tho fish hooke,.tied up as grapples,
wet e to he used for drawing up thenarts in the
vault whenever I should delermine how to dis
lbrise of thorn and get strains enough. I-bad a
confused double object in ordering the box mill
making the grapples. I had before intended to
gut such thinge Co send to Fayal-the box to
hold the plants and other articles which I wish
ed to protect from the atilt water and the Sea
air, and the hooks to be used there in obtaining
derralllner plarits from the sea. It was this
previously intended use of them that mixed
itself el; with the idea of the other application.
I doubt even now to which use they would
have been -applied ; I had not used the
_hooks
at the time of the discovery. The tan put into
the tea cheat woo taken from a barrel of it that
bad been in the laboratory for some time; the
bag of tan, brought 'in on Monday, was not
used, nor
_ii4erided to be used ; .it belonged to a
quantity obtained : by mo a long time ago, for
experiments in tanning, and was sent in by the
family to get it out of the way.- Its being
lent in just at that time was accidental. I was
not aware that I had pot tlt knife in the
chest ; the stick found in the saucer of ink
was for . marking coarse diagrams on cloth ;
the hunch of filed keys had bean used long
ago by me in Front street, und chrown core
leasly into a drawer; I never eiumined them,
and do not know whether they wriilltl- fit any
of the locks of the College or mot;. if there
were other keys fitting doo're with which I had
nothing toVo, I suppose they must have been

of the facts recorded above on the 23d of May, ,

irritable and p.isaionate. A quick handed and
brief violeneb of temper has beqn a besetting,
sin of my life. I was-an only child ; . tnuch in

when you knew you had not the means? "No,"
tic replie,d, 'id did not tell him I would pay him,
and there is no evidence I told him so, except
my own words spoken after his disappearance,
and after I had determined to take the ground

committed from the - moment - I - had - begun - -to
conceal the homicide. I hey& had a thought
of injuring Di. Parkman."
This wits accompanied
. by tho :statement' in
which Profossur Webster attempts to explain
as to his seeing Littlefield, sending for blood,
and of inquiring for gases from the vault• _
_ ) After_ reading the statement Dr. Putnalnpro
ceeded to argue as to its truthfulness, saying
that it was made when the writ of error was
pending ; also, that Professor Webster's estate
was worth - several thousand - dollars, and that he
was not in sucli a strait as to commit such a
crime deliberately. , •
The previous petition from Prof. Webster,
protesting his innocence and praying fur absp
lute-pardob, he said was got up by hit family,
who were, wavering in their belief in his inno
cence, until his,conCession was communicated
to them about a week since.
Ho concluded in asserting.his belief that the
confession was true. Members of the Council
have retained a copy of the petition previously
presented, and withdrawn by the advice of Dr.
Putnam, which will probably be ponlished. It
asserts his innocence, and also asserts that Lit
tlefield, or some some other p :anon placed
the remains in his room to compass his ruin.

from hedge to hedge, aid from flower to

brook bubbling from a rock. At lest he had .
filled his basket Anita.. full of the prettiest flow-'

of field strawberry flowors,which' he laid on.

him to aide. And peaceffilly the fair child
slumbered, his rimy cheek- reeling on the hands
that still held his trcasuredbasket. -
But while he slept, a sudden change came
on. A storm arose in the heavens, but u. few
moments before so blue and beautiful. Heavy . '
-mastics of-clouds-gathered-darkly-and-omirious
ly together; the lightning flashed, and the
.thunder rolled louder and nearer. Suddenly a
gust of winthroired in the boughs of the ouk,
and startled the boy out of hie quiet deep. He
saw the whole heavenii-veiled id - black; not a•
sunbeam gleams& over the fields, and a heavy
clap of thunder followed bla waking. Thsi
child stood up, bewildered at the sudden change;
and now the rain began t• iiattor through the
leaves of the culk, - en hovinatehed up his basket
and ran towards home as tastes his legs could
carry him. The storm seemed to burst. over

him more bewildered • cry minute. Water
streamed from his oor Boakeurls dowp hid
shoulders, - and he could scareely'kee to find his,/
way homeward. All on a - sudden a more vio - .0
lent gust of wind'than usual, caught the treas
ured helot, and scattered all' his carefully corn
lotted flowers far away over the field. His pa.- 7 .
tienco could endure no longei, for his face
grow distorted with rage, and he flung the
empty basket from him, with a 11,04 of linger.-
Crying bitterly, and thoroughly wet,he reached
at lost his Parents' housalln a pitiful plight.
But soon another-dhange appeared; the storm
passed away, and the sky grew clear again.—
The birds began - their songs anew, and the
countryman his labor. The air- bad become
cooler and purer, and a bright calm seemed to
lie lovingly in every valley and on every hill.
What a delicious odor rose from the freshened
fields ! and their cultivators looked with grate
ful joy at'the deplirting clouds which had pou
red fertalizing rain upon. them. Tlfe sight of
the blue sky spun tempted the _frightened boy
out again, and being by this time ashamed of
his ill•temper, ho went very quietly to look for
his di - herded -basket, and to try and fill it 'again.
Ho seemed to feel a`hlaw life-within him.—
The cool breath of the air—the smell of the
fields—the leafy Crees-r-the warbling birds, all
appeared doubly•beatitiful after the storm, and
the'hemiliating consciousness of his foolish and
unjust ill-temper softened 'and chastened his
joy. Aftena long search he *sled - thssluss- -
