已故的哈佛大学文学家弗兰西斯·奥特·马提森（Francis Otto Matthiessen）认为，怀特谋杀案的余音和韦伯斯特的陈词总结在霍桑的另一本著作《七个尖角的阁楼》（The House of Seven Gables）（1851）亦能找到痕迹。

The late Harvard University literary scholar Francis Otto Matthiessen argued that echoes of the White murder and Webster’s summation also found their way into The House of Seven Gables (1851).
