 If mon all the evidence there remains a reasonable doubt, in your minds, of the guilt of the defendants, you must acquit them. The reasonable doubt thus stated, Is such want of conclusiveness in the evidence as shall render you unable to say whether the defendants are guilty or not. The doubt must exist in the evidence itself, and be in- separable and insoluble by the most careful examination you can give it. The reasonable doubt which the law contemplates, Is not some theoretical or possible conclusion 0f ln- nocence apart from the evidence and the whole of it. It must be some doubtful quail ity of the whole evidence which you cannot eliminate by any effort of your reason. | thus state to you the legal principles which govern this case, the conclusions of i fact to which they are to be applied, and suggest to you the modes of inquiry by which they are to be reached.

them appear to knew precisely what
