The Homicide Trial at Ban.
COR.

This trial occupied a number of days and
was the occasion of great intereat and ankle
ty. The ablest counsel was retained for the
boy. Or sby-A. Wat rhouse. Mr. knowles
and Ex-Governor Kent For the State.
Chas. 5. Crosby Esq. county Attorney. The
Bangor papers contain very full reports of
the testimony and the arguments of coun-
sel,-that Of Ex-Governor Ken, being very
lengthy, and very thorough, occupying seven
hours ia its delivery. Mr.. Crosby,s effort
was one of much power, beauty and clear
ness. fr2n the sketch of i; which we have
real we think it must have been an effort
which would 10 credit to any advocate in
the State. There is one popularity peryad-
ing this whole trial, that Of intense serious
ness ana heartfelt sorrow The counsel in
their arguments gave the clearest evidence of
their deep and sorrowful feelings for all the
parties interested. So also did the witnesses
and the Court. This feeling is but com.
mon one among all classes and in all commu-
mites.
This was a case Of peculiar hardship and
sorrow to all the parties. The sympathies
of the world are as much due to the friends
of the living Crosby on trial at the bar Of
public Justice, as to the Borrowing mourners
of the youthful and silent Lowell This
kindred and sympathizing spirit pervades
snd runs through the whole trial. There
seems no striving for the mastery among the
counsel, no swift witnesses on the stand and
no cold and ind tferent hearts among the
throng of anxious listeners; and when the
verdict of mot GUILTY" was pronounced
an outburst Of applause followed, and by
those who but a moment before were hushed
in silence
1t may be necessary to state for the bene-
tit Of those " no have forgotten the cireum-
stances attending this tragedy in real lille, OF

2lst OF September ls57, rencounter took
place between the schoolmates William Cros-
by and Charles Henry Lowell, in which the
latter received a wound which caused his
death. Crosby Wore his hair long and hang
ing in curls on his shoulders, for which ht
was tantalized by his school-fellows and ar
attempt was made to cut them off, and ii
