Celebrated American Trials The Webster Murder Case. TH HE Sprague Publishing Co. will bring out within the next few months a series of great trials, including generally the story of the case, the examination of the witnesses and the speeches of counsel. The first of this series is now ready. It is the great trial of Prof. Webster, of Harvard, for the murder of Dr. Parkman. There is no more famous case in all the history of American criminal law. It is not only a most interesting case to read, however, although the story is enthralling, the examination of the witnesses noteworthy, while the speeches of the great lawyers in the case hold the reader s interest to the end. It is a great authority in the criminal law and procedure, and probably no case ever tried is so frequently cited in the books. The report that we now bring out was prepared by GEORGE BEMIS, Esq, one of the counsel for the Commonwealth, and is, therefore, authoritative and well pre pared. One for whom celebrated trials and the speeches of great men of the bar have any interest should not fail to add this book to his library.
