UT Speaking without thinking is like shouting without taking aim. The man who thinks laboriously will express himself concisely, The Trial of Pox at Albany. I'Jilor of tht ArgiiiDtkH Su : A you are doubtless aware, the special term of the Linn Circuit Court was held at Al bany last week for the trial ef Fox for ihe murder of Crawford, I was present du ring the entire proceedings, and as I sup pose that it will be of interest lo many of your readers, I will give you as succinct an account of it a possible. I will state that I went to Albany unbi assed in judgment, with the intention of hearing the evidence on both sides snd de. elding for myself. I did not lake any notes, and can only give you au epitome of the testimony fioin memory. The trial commenced on Tuesday morn ii g; a jury was cmpannelcd sooner than I expected, and the witnesses fur the prosecu lion were commenced at noon Tuesday. The examination continued day and night until Friday at 2 o'clock, (except Wedues- lay night.) It seems that on Saturday morning, the 3d of August last, about 8 o'clock, Craw ford went freru his mill to the stable fo get his horse and ride out into the country. The stable is between the main street of the village and the river, 120 fuel from the street, and there is no building between it and the street, Foster's store and au old tin shop are a little east of the stable, and on the street. To the west, on the street, ia McConiiell's store, shoe shop, Connor's store, and Flcischner's store. Opposite Fleischncr's sloro is Crawford's office. The 'Tacifio" is still farther south of Crawford's office, about a square distant. Fox was not seen by any witness lo go to the stable. The first witness called (I shall not strictly follow this witness, but as many witnesses testified lo substantially the same things, will follow him mainly, and fill up from the others, to make a complete narrative) testi (ltd that on the morning alluded to he was in Foster's store, between 8 and o'clock, and heard the report of a fire-arm but paid no attention to it until he heard something liko a groan ; he then ran out, and saw Crawford leaning against thesido of the stable door, nod heard him call to some one, ''Bring me a pistol, till I shoot the d 'd coward." The witness asked him what was the matter; he replied, "That d d rascal has shot me ;" and looking in the direction he pointed, witness saw Fox wnlking oil' between the river bank and the row of stores, (McConnell's, Cot.nor'a, Sic.,) and about from 40 to CO yards from llie stable, liy the time witness hud trot to the stable, another person came tip and asked Crawford if he was mortally wounded ; he replied, ','1 think not," (or, 'I don't know,') "if I can get a doctor." The two persons then took hold of him, eno under each arm, and led him down oil" the bridge that IcaJs tip to the stable door, perhaps 10 feet; Crawford then told him that they would havo to carry him, as he couldn't walk. Other persons by this time came up, and two of them took him by the legs and car ried him, feet foremost, to his office. When they came out into the street above Mc Connell's store, they saw Fox crossing the street above Fleischner's, going toward tlie "Pacific ;" when Crawford saw him, he cried out, "Como here, you d d coward, and I'll cut your heart out." Fox simply turned his head a little, and walked on. They bore him to his office, and found that he had a bullet bole through his coat and vest and two through his pants and under clothes, and two wounds a short distance apart on his belly. An old gentleman present remaiked that the bull went in at one hole and came out at the other, as he had seen such a case somewhere. He ap peared in great misery, and frequently said ''I can't stand it." A few minutes after he was laid on the bed his brother came in, and Crawford fold him, "Take a pbtol, and go and shoot the d d rascal, or bring him to me and let me shoot him." His brother went to the Pacific with a pistol about the time the magistrate went lo arrest Fox. When the magistrate told Fox to go with him to the Court House, he expressed sur prise, and said, "What for 1" He started with him and company, but stopped in the middle of the street and said, "I won't go lo jail." Leaving Fox in charge of a guard, the justice went down lo take Crawford's deposition. When the justice told him that he might not lire long, and be had better give his deposition, he as sented to it, and told some one standing by, "If I had him here I'd lake his deposition." He then dictated a eutement, which was lakrn down by a person present, which is as follows, as near as I can recollect : " Fox came t the stable, when I was saddling my horse, and said 'Crawford, you have been slandering my sister I said, 'Tis false, Jake, and yoa can't prove it.' lie replied, 'You Lave, and I'll shoot you.' lie then drew his pistol, fired it off, and went away." (The counsel for toe prisoner objected to the introduclioa of the declaration, be- cause, 1st, it did not appear from the evi-' deuce that Crawford was under the impres sion that ho was dying ; aud 2d, that he sl.ewod a vindictive spirit toward tho pris oner. TL Judge decided to admit the declaration as his di-imf lestimony. as he thouahl the evidence showed that C. iho't he was dying; and that the jury should; judge of the amount of credit that was due to ihe declaration.) In the meantime Crawford's brother hav ing given ihe pistol to ono of the guard at the Court House, came back to the office and got another, when C. told him not to shoot Fox ; but wlicther this orcurred ho fore or after the taking of the declaration, I am not positive. The Judge told I ho jury, when I hey came in for special instructions, that lie thought it was afterward ; and such is my impression. ' ,. Mr. Crawford lingered in great pain, and under the influences of chloroform and opi ales, until the next morning, when he died. A pott mortem examination showed that the ball had hit a key io hia vest pocket, and split in two, (breaking part of the ring out of the key,) one a long flat piece, the other round. The pieces entered the right side & short distance apart, (perhaps an inch,) and about au inch below a right line; drawn through the navel, ono piece rang-l ing downward and backwrd, perforating! the intestines, severing the right ureter, (the canal that connects the bladder end j kidney.) and lodged upon the upper por- lion of the sacrum, (or lower portion of the spine,) lacerating the lumber muscle very much ; the other portion of tho ball passed downward, obliquely across ihe abdomen, before the bladder, and lodged upon the left pubis, near the groin, It was also pro ven that Fox was seen lo have a Navy re volver, at what timo the witness could not state, wiihin a month or two, the ball of w hich was about the size of the ball taken from Crawford's body. It was not proven that Fox had made any threats, but that he brought a pistol and a sword cane to this country with him. The first witness produced by the de fense, testified that he met Crawford on the Monday, as ho (witness) was going lo Sa lem. And Crawford told him that he was not going lo be run off, and he showed a pistol which he said he got for the pur pose. He also said, that he and Fox would not both live a week longer. The defense then introduced witnesses to prove that Crawford had seduced the sister of the accused, under the promise of marriage The witnesses, (members of the family) testified that the family had always con sidered them as engaged, from the time that llicy removed to Albany. A gentle man was Introduced who was acquainted with the family for many years in Wis- cousin; lie said llicy were respectable, and that Miss Fox was frequently a visitor in the family of Messrs. Culver, brothers-in- law of Judge Pratt. Miss FuX was then introduced, and stated that alio arrived in the Territory in the fall of 1854, with her lather's family. She afterwards resided in Oregon City for a few weeks in the family of the gentleman just referred to. She then wentlo Linn City, and resided some time in the family of Judge Pratt. Du ring the winter or spring following, she concluded to visit Ler family living near Eugene. She was accompanied on heard the boat, and introduced at Canemah to Mr. Crawford, and placed under Lis protec tion by a citizen of Liun City. She had frequent conversations with Mr. C, and was favorably impressed with him. He in- 'ormed her that the reads weie very bad, and the weather inclement, and that she would find great difficulty in procuring conveyance from Corvallis, (where she ex pected to land) to Eugene, and advised her to get off at Albany, stating that be would furnish her conveyance, or go himself with her to Eugene, as he had business there. She consulted a lady from Corvallis who told her if Mr. C. would take her to Eu gene, she had better land at Albany. She concluded to do so, and went up with Mr. to the Pacifio Ilouse The next day, (Saturday) about 10 o'clock be started with her in his buggy for Eugene, and on the following day arrived there about 11 o'clock. On that day she staled that Mr. C. made some improper remarks for which she reproved him, and he apologized and asked Ler pardon, which she granted. Before parting wii(j her, he requested Ler to write to him, which she at first declined, but when he appealed lo her that he had been very kind io her, and had taken much trouble to accommodate her, she consented, lie stated that he would return to Eugene in about 3 weeks, and that if she wished to return to Linn City, La would take ber down ia his buggy, lu about a week she wrote letter to Lim, and another io about three weeks containing some verses one of which she clipped from a paper, and the other original. Ia a few weeks a gentle man living in Lane county on the road from Albany to Eugene, came to .her j father and wished her lo go and stay with his wifa, while he was gone below. Mr.' C. came there (I do not recollect llie lime) and ul 1 her that he had been to her father for her. Shu asked Lim if he had heard from Mrs Pratt. Ilo said he had and that Mrs P. wished him lo bring Ler down. T,,e next morning she started with Mm in bis buggy for Albany. Arriving there he persuaded her to stay, as the landlady of the Pacifio wished her to slay with her and sew, ofluring licr 83 a week and her board, and she consented to stay. Ilowevcr ' C. told her if she still wished to go to Linn City, ho would send a bny with her in Lis buggy. Sho stayed at the Pacific about nine weeks. Mr. C. frequently con- versed with her, and mnde her promise not ; to receive the attentions of any other young man, and he would not wait on any other young lady. She stnted that about this time he promised to marry her in about two weeks ; Le afterwards put it off till Sup- tember, and in September, delayed it much longer, saying ihut perhaps Le could not marry Ler until Le returned from a viait to Ireland. In the mean lime, in their f.e- quent rides and conversations he urged her lo con.cnt to have sexual intercourse with him, but she invariably, refused. At one l!,,e 1,8 pr:re, ber 8100 agnin; Le said he ''d some stufr which he could put in can- ,lv or ber food, which would place her in power. He said he would not give it l" be loved her too much, but he bad given it to other ladies. Ho frequent- iy gave her candy when tliey were riding out, and she Would Lide tt, and throw it away when she came back Lome. At last, after they had been engaged about two weeks, she yielded to Lim, as she believes, under the influence of tho stuff Le spoke of, as she experienced an unusual sensation in the brain, at the time. This was the first or second week in July. They had frequent connexion afterward. In the to make arrangements for tho child, as it following month she informed Lim that she must be cared for before Ler brother saw was encimte, but Le would not believe it. her, and while there wrote the letter re Once she accused him of an intention to ferred to above. He met her at the wharf, leave her and not fulfill his promise of with a carriage, and they drove lo a hotel, marriage, but ho got down on his knees, when he gave her directions where to take end swore that Le would not deceive her, her child, telling her that ho Lad made ar onlylo trust Lim. After she stayed at tlio rangements, with a widow lady to keep it Pacific eight or nine weeks, she went, at three months, at 850 a month, and Lad his advice, to a private boarding house, he paid her (150 in advance. Sho showed paying Ler board there. Ilo frequently him a vial of chloroform ; Le asked her msde presents to Ler, amounting lo about what she intended to do with it. "I in 850. 1 do not recollect how long she stayed tend to la ke it when 1 leave my child," said at the boarding Louse. She concluded to go to her parents in Lane county, and in- duce them to remove to Albany, and lake the Pacifio House, as she wished to be near her parents. He also used his itiflu- ence wiih the father, to move down lo Al- bany. He went up with her, and on the way up, she again told Lim that sho was encienle; he said hesupposed so, ho had niis trusted it for more than a month. This was in September. He then advised her to procure an abortion, which she weuld not consent to. He left Ler with Ler parents, and they moved down to Albany the Int- ter part of October, and rented the Pacific, She stated that she had frequently gone to Lis mill and office, but always In com- pany with other ladies or frionds.' Twice she had gone with him in daylight in a boat across tho Calnpooya, and up in the woods. That he' always had made some excuse for not fulfilling his nrainiso of marriage. When she could not much into tears, and said, "Lizzie, where have longer conceal Ler condition, and he told you been f I have looked for you in all Ler that ha could not marry her until he the theaters, and everywhere through the returned from Ireland, she said, " what streets and shops.

She aaid, "lie did not re agreed that she should deceive her parents, proachnie; he said he loved me as much saying that she was going lo Mrs. Pratt's, as ever; he did not blame me, but he did and that instead of going there, she should blame Crnwford." Sho had another inter goto Sacramento, Cal., and pass herself as view With Crawford before thoy left, and Mrs. Ellen Farrington, whose husband was he went with her tosee her child.

"No," said sLe, "however Leart to her mother, and told Ler all, but debased I am, I will never destroy my upon promise that she would not tell any child." He purchaied a ticket for her. gave her some money to pay her expenses, and she started by herself to California.
