Richard Crowninshield, who, com
mitted suicide in prison, was undoubt-
edly one Of the most singular beings of
his criminal professions, which history
or fiction can show. Ever since he at
tanned boyhood' his deeds have been
characterised with daring, hypocrisy,
GOODNESS, defiance of all law, and a cal
culation and ingenuity that would have
raised him to eininence in society, had
he received q. proper direction in his
infancy. His recent letters. written
during his confinement, are but the
part of plan to rescue not only him.
self, but all his associates in crime. An
incident is told in this place, which
marks the GOODNESS and precaution with
which he moved in his criminal pur-
suits. On the night on which the MUIR
der was committed, he complained of
a slight indisposition, and went to bed,
as seen by the family about 9o'clock.
AT eleven O'Clock, two hours AFTER he
again walked up some members of the
family, and requested preparation Of
medicine for the purpose of alleviating
his indisposition. During the interval
that elapsed between these events, he,|
had left his room privately, rode to Sa- |
lem, perpetrated the foul deed, return
ed and placed himself in the same sit !
uation. 1t was about ten minutes after
ten o'clock, that the murder of Capt.
White was accomplished, according to
tho evidence of persons who saw him
and Knapp skulking round the build
ings. One female heard Knapp it is
say to the other, shave. you
done itw "Ihave fixed him." was the
short and rapid reply.
The precaution taken by Richard, in
of indisposi,ion, and taxi
ng medicine, although apparently triv-
al circumstances, would have formedI
,ery important facts, attested to by sew
'ral witnesses, showing that he was in
accent. To any jury It would have a ,
mounted to an abb; and had the princi-
,al been rescued from the clutches of /
he law by a concurrence fsuch tosti- I
nony, it would have been easy to de-
eat the ends Of justice as it respects
he other associates. /
