Trial of Dr Webster for the Parkman murder begins

Crowds fill the court as Dr Jona Webster faces charges in Boston. Witnesses recount Parkman’s disappearance, the discovery of remains, and Webster’s movements at the Medical College. The jury, empaneled after extensive voir dire, hears testimonies from Littlefield, Shaw, and others about the private laboratory, the privy, and possible evidence linking Webster to the crime. The day closes with further examinations scheduled.
