The Outrage upon Little octavie r Rousseau.
THE TRIAL OF LUsBY.
CRIMINAL COURT, Jud9s Wyfe-The trial of
Jonn r. Lusby, for the murder of Octayie
Rousseau, was resumed this morning
Mr.. Bradley, for the defense, before the ar
gument was commenced, moved that Eugene
Bathan, witness for the defense, be put upon
'ns stand, which, after discussion, was denied
The prosecution offered the following pray
er, which the Court granted:
Ii the jury find from the evidence that the
deceased, Octavie Rousseau, came to her death
from wounds inflicted by the accused John =
Lusby, at the time and place and in the man
ner described in the indictment, thew must find
the accused guilty as indicted, although they
further fnd that at the time Of committing the
act the accused was under the inn 11uence Of
h9uor.
The defense offered the following, each q,
which were granted:
1st. To rebut the presumption of Innocence
the jury must find from the whole evidence
that the Government has established more than
primd tdcie case of guilt against the prisoner,
and the burden rests upon the Government TO
prove every material fact in the charge
I'd. TO convict the prisoner on this indict.
ment the jury must find from the whole evil
terial charge contained in the Indictment ne
yond reasonable doubt: and unless from a
comparison and consideration of the whole
testimony they shall be able to say their minds
feel an abiding conviction to a moral certainty
Of the truth OF the charge, they must find for
the prisoner. -.. .s. -l
%. II, from the Wnole evidence, the jury
shall find the government has established
beyond a reasonable doubt strong probability
that the prisoner Is guilty Of the charge CON.
tanned in the indictment, and that tie fact
charged IS more hkeIy to be true than the con-
trary, and no more, they cannot find him guilty
as indicted. g..
4th. In all cases the jury must, from the
whole evidence, hnd the material fact charged
against the prisoner to be true to a reasonable
and moral certainty; q certainty that eonvinces
and directs the understanding and satisfies
their reason and Judgment n
5th. Unless the jury shall find the whole
evidence in the case excludes reasonable sup
position OF the prisoners innocence, and also
is perfectly reconcilable with his guilt they
must acQuit.
Mr.. Phillips, for the prosecution, opened the
argument, speaking first Of the responsibility
resting on the jury, and proceeding, pictured
the little victim playing in front Of her fathers
him 20 dark affey, where the horrible CRIME
was committed. and she left to recover her
