35 past twelve. From that time, and my subsequent movements, not being in a hurry, I suppose that I must have gone out about twenty minutes past one o'clock, -not later. I do not take so long to have dinner, when I am in a hurry. I formed my impression concern- ing the time next day. I was examined on the coroner's inquest, and do not know whether I said I left my house at a quarter or twenty minutes past one. I did not write down any statement relative to this matter, nor did any one do anything of that kind for me, that I know of. On the afternoon of Saturday, Mr. Kingsley came to me, and made inquiries relating to Dr. Parkman. I don't recollect saying anything to him, but that I had seen him. It was after Mr. Kingsley left me that I considered over the time. I do not remember whether or not I might have said that I had or had not seen Dr. Parkman that day, before I spoke to Mr. Kingsley on the subject. MARTHA MOORE, smorn.-I am wife to the last witness. I knew Dr. Parkman by sight; but I did not see him on Friday, 23d Novem- ber last. I told my son George to go to school, that day, ten minutes before two. He was then on the corner of Fruit and Bridge streets, on the sidewalk, near a truck. I spoke to him from an open window. I had just looked at the clock before I spoke to my son to go to school. My attention was called to this fact. when inquiry was made for Dr. Parkman. Cross-examination. My son attends school in Pinckney-street. It commences in the afternoon at two o'clock. I cannot recollect many occasions of warning my son to go to school. It is not often; and when I may have occasion, it is only such natural occasion as any mother may have. I am sure it was within a week that my attention was called to time. It was called to my recollection by my son, with- in a day or two, when he said he had seen Dr. Parkman. It might have been the next day, or it might have been two or three days. It was in the house we talked over the matter; and I cannot say whether any one was present. I know it was Friday, the 23d day of Novem- ber, and I know that I looked out of the window on that day. I am not aware who I spoke to first on this subject. I told it to the sheriff. I cannot recollect any other transaction that, day. GEORGE F. MOORE, Worn. -I am twelve years of age. I knew Dr. Parkman, and last saw him on Friday, 23d November. I heard of his being missing on Saturday, when I recollected to have seen him in Fruit-street. I was standing alongside a team which had got stuck in the . mud in Fruit-street, when Dr. Parkman passed down towards Grove-street. [The locality was pointed out on a map, and the attention of the jury directed towards it. The boy pointed out his position, and that of the team, on the street, at the moment Dr. Parkman passed.] This was about ten minutes before two. My mother called me, and said I should go to school, as that was the time. Another boy, named Dwight Prouty, was with me, and I said, « There goes Dr. Parkman!" The truckman was not whipping his horses. We went to the Phillips School, which was not above a quarter of a mile, and got there just before it commenced. Two o'clock is the usual hour of commencing school. Cross-examination. I don't recollect seeing Dr. Parkman on any |
