Extraordinary Murder Case in Boston Rocks Cambridge
A Boston murder case centers on Professor John W Webster of Cambridge charged in the disappearance of Dr George Parkman. Evidence includes human bones and teeth found in Webster's lab and furnace, with blood traces and a trunk containing body parts. Parkman, wealthy real estate lender, had pressed Webster over a loan and note. The report notes Webster's long Harvard tenure and prior editorial roles while Parkman was a former Medical Journal editor. The narrative details a tense confrontation after a note dispute and the discovery of remains.
