The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from A Book of Remarkable Criminals by H. B. Irving: into his own account at the Charles River Bank the cheque for
L18, lecture fees, handed over to him by the agent Pettee just
before Dr. Parkman's visit on the Friday. This sum had not ap-
parently gone towards the making up of the L90, which Webster
said that he had paid to Parkman that day. The means by which
Webster had been enabled to settle this debt became more
mysterious than ever.
On Tuesday, November 27, the Professor received three other
visitors in his lecture-room. These were police officers who, in
the course of their search for the missing man, felt it their
duty to examine, however perfunctorily, the Medical College.
