Some parts of the body were burned in a furnace, while those that were too big to fit were stuffed into the vault, according to an article in the spring 2000 issue of the Harvard Medical Alumni Bulletin EDT Monday as part of the "American Experience" series (check local listings) But Parkman's house still stands as does Webster's But authorities noted the body appeared to have been cut up by someone familiar with dissection The original site of Harvard Medical College is now occupied by Massachusetts General Hospital A janitor, Ephraim Littlefield, tunneled beneath a basement laboratory at Harvard Medical College looking for clues, and found body parts in a vault belonging to Webster People knew exactly where he was, right down to the medical college, where he breathed his last breath," Stange said There were huge mobs around the courthouse and reporters came from all around the country And after squandering a family inheritance, he continued to spend freely It lasted 12 days, attracting 60,000 spectators and journalists from all over the world Webster's salary as a chemistry professor at Harvard was insufficient to provide for his wife and daughters Webster was hanged for the crime "You can go and walk those streets People were allowed to watch for 10 minutes, then had to leave so more folks could see "I think this one was a particularly good one because it was this wonderful, gothic murder story," she said Documentary Explores 1849 Harvard Murder Jul 9, 7:01 AM EST It was the O And now you can see a dramatization on PBS, "Murder at Harvard," airing 9 p m Historian Simon Schama provides his take on the case of Dr J The possible motive? Webster had borrowed $2,400 from Parkman, and Parkman was trying to collect the debt Simpson trial of its day Although the evidence and motive points to Webster and body parts were found in his vault, there was never any concrete proof the body was Parkman's Some believe Littlefield may have committed the crime and pointed the finger at Webster John White Webster, who was charged with murdering a fellow Harvard Medical School graduate, Dr As for Schama, he believes that since Webster was known for having a bad temper â€â€? even, as one story goes, once beating a puppy in one of his classes to demonstrate a point â€â€? he was the one responsible for Parkman's death Littlefield ended up with a $3,000 reward that was paid by Parkman's brother-in-law for the information he provided â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: http://pbs The trial in March 1850 created a stir, with people flocking to the courtroom to watch the proceedings When Parkman came to get his money, the combination of Webster's embarrassment and his feeling that his place in society might be slipping may have culminated in an act of desperation, said Eric Stange, the show's co-writer, co-producer and director From as far away as Berlin, Paris and London," Banta said " Stange said the advantage of shooting scenes in a city like Boston is that many of the old buildings still exist "Webster knew what he was doing and had taken anatomy classes and all the rest," Stange said Co-writer-produce r Melissa Banta first became intrigued by the mystery surrounding the trial while working as a curatorial associate in the university library at Harvard, where she heard about the famous case The throngs were so big that the city marshal wrapped a chain around the courthouse for crowd control In a matter of days, Webster was charged with murdering Parkman, a Boston Brahmin "A lot of people would compare it to the O Simpson case of its day 28, 1849 "Back then it was just truly shocking that someone of Webster's class and social standing would have committed such a crime and that's why it drew so many people J George Parkman You can literally walk the same walk that George Parkman took in the last hour of his life Parkman disappeared Nov org/amex/murder 11, boosting its total to $76 million, up about $6 million, since the nominations " Neither film had the popular buzz or huge advertising campaigns of the other three nominees, so the awards attention served as a key marketing hook It's awful to say, but you just need it," said Nicole Kidman, who earned a best-actress nomination as author Woolf "It's not a formulaic film, it's not a film that warrants a lot of money spent on advertising and marketing, and this is the only way to get noticed The two other top-grossing best-picture candidates, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and "Gangs of New York," were helped marginally by their nominations Not just its subject matter alone, but in terms of the psyche of the country But the nominations brought more imperative to the viewing of the film," said Jack Foley, head of distribution for Focus Features, which released "The Pianist Oscars Spell Dollars for Many Nominees Mar 18, 6:28 PM EST Only one film gets the best-picture Academy Award, but all five contenders are reaping fistfuls of cash " "You have a lot of people who just have to see at least the five best-picture nominated films before Oscar night " Since the nominations, "The Pianist" has doubled its gross to about $19 million, and "The Hours" has climbed past $37 million, up nearly $16 million Best-picture nominations were especially helpful for the Virginia Woolf-related tale "The Hours" and the Holocaust saga "The Pianist With mixed reviews, "Gangs of New York" largely had played out among moviegoers before Feb "Chicago," "The Hours" and "The Pianist" all opened in narrow release in late December and gradually expanded over the next month and a half "The Hours" had the benefit of Kidman, Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore's star power, but "The Pianist" features the lesser-known Adrien Brody and was directed by Roman Polanski, long out of favor among American audiences " Films with key acting nominations also got a box-office boost, among them "About Schmidt, which has Jack Nicholson up for best actor and Kathy Bates up for supporting actress; "Far From Heaven," which earned Moore a best-actress nomination (she also is competing for supporting actress for "The Hours"); and "The Quiet American," which grabbed a best-actor nomination for Michael Caine "The thing about `The Pianist,' in this day and age, it's a tough picture from the word go 11 "The Two Towers" already was a blockbuster, grossing $321 million by the time nominations came out, adding about $13 million to its total since "Something like `The Hours,' you need it Studios often time the release patterns of prestige films to the Oscar nominations While the crowd-pleasing musical "Chicago" already had positioned itself for box-office success, "The Hours" and "The Pianist" were hard sells â€â€? gloomy films at a time when many filmgoers are looking for light, escapist flicks This year, best-picture front-runner "Chicago" has been the main beneficiary, nearly doubling its domestic haul to $125 million since Oscar nominations came out Feb The Academy Awards were started in the 1920s as a marketing tool to promote moviegoing, and the Oscars continue to deliver on that goal, encouraging millions of people to catch films they might otherwise have skipped "The bottom line with the Oscar nomination process is that it takes films that would originally play to small audiences or get very little attention and suddenly puts them in a whole new realm of exposure," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations Anticipating best-picture nominations, their studios planned big bumps in the films' theater counts for the weekend after the Oscar nominations |
