The prosecution, after defining the various
kinds OF manslaughter, instructed the Jury as
TO the penalties OF each. He argued that no
constable had right to deputize a man to do
anything Of lagal character, but that in a
case Of riot or fight, in which be was unable
to do efficient duty, he could call men to his
assistance They were simply TO assist him
and were not cOHstdbles Evans was not
guilty OF any crime, but warrant for his ar

Constabies, or no other man, had right 10
arrest people without producing a warrant, or
telling them why they we're arrested, EXCEPT
in cases where q constable catches men IN the
act OF crime, then no warrant is necessary.
For crime committed and over, except ia
felonies, a warrant is always necessary. Tho
prosecution then argued that the arrest Of
Evans By Mari, had il been Accomplished
without killing him would have been illegal,
and then proceeded to silt the accused's eyi.

The defense argued that The iact thai

BILE, aud that koontz, while at Deitrcks

upon him saying ~ arrest you in the name
OF The State, was legal arrest, aud that
Evans was then prisoner IN the hands OF
the constable The fact that Evans suhse.
queutly escaped only multiplied the reasons
why he should be unprecedented, and the dc.

calling MARI 10 his assistance, aud that Marr.
