Singular Instructions to a Jury.

In the Franklin circuit court, Ken.
tucky, Wash Evorly has been convict.
cd for killing Dan McCurdy, and sem
fenced to the penitentiary for five
years.
In noticing the case the Frankfort
Yeomdn remarks:
Judge Nuttall instructed the iury
that if they believed the prisoner was
sufficiently drunk at the time the Of
fence was committed as not to know
what he was doing, they we're to find
him not guilty. The substance of
the instruction was about this: If it
appeared that q man intended to com.
NIT crime before he got drunk, and
committed it in state Of intoxication,
his drunkenness was no excuse or bal
liation of the offense; but if, without
having determined to perpeuato crime,
he became 700 drunk to know what he
was about, and in this case committed
murder, he could not be held guilty.
