Watertown, MA — On Saturday morning, just hours after the largest manhunt in Massachusetts history ended in this Boston suburb, the sun was fighting through the clouds, and the police perimeter had been reduced to a couple hundred feet in either direction of the elbow of Franklin Street, a short, L-shaped road lined with well-kept woodframe houses.On Friday night, in a boat parked in the backyard of one of those houses, law enforcement agents successfully apprehended Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, the remaining at-large suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing. The hunt for Tsarnaev, who, along with his elder brother, is suspected of carrying out the attack that killed three people and wounded more than 180, had paralyzed much of the Boston area on Friday, and Watertown in particular.
