The State OF Ohio No. 1857.
Indictment for Mur
der in the First
Peter King, Jr Degree.
Now comes the State Of Ohio, by
P. Spriggs, Prosecuting Attorney
Monroe County, Ohio, and asks the
Court to reduce his charge to the jury in
this case to writing.
He further asks said Coult to charge
said jury as follows, TO wit: When the
fact OF killing is proven, malice is to be
presumed, and all the circumstances Of
justification, excuse or extenuation must
be made by the accused, unless they ap-
pear from the evidence adduced against
him.
!. Z The fact Of killing being proven,
the presumption Of law In Ohio is that
1t Was done with malice, but without de
liberation or premeditation; and conse.
quently that It Is murder in the second
degree.
g. To constitute tleliberation and pre-
meditation, the intention to do the ipju
ry must have been deliberated upon, and
the design to do it formed, before the
act was done, though it is not required
that iether should have been done for
any considerable time. This supposes
that the party by reflection understood
what be was about to do, and intended
to do it in order to do harm.
