struck the fatal blow, and that tn,
other was present aiding and abetting
or both can be Indicted ~ having made
the assault, and one Of having struck
the mortal blow.
He read the form of indictment a.
laid down by law, and said that wa,
the form which had been strictly ad
hered to. The indictment under which
these prisoners were convicted charged
both with being present and committing
the assault, and one as having fired the
fatal shot. IL two or more persons
Jointly commit Q crime, they can both
be indicted and tried together, or they
can be tried separately.
He said it was illogical to argue that
because one Of the prisoners was found
guilty with expressed malice, and the
other was not, that he too should be
found guilty OF the same degree and
hung, to make the verdict legal In the
case of the other.
Mr.. Gray cited case tried during the
reign of Queen Mary to show that
where several persons were engaged in
murder, one or more could be found
guilty In the first degree, and the others
Of manslaughter, and said that 1t
showed that this doctrine was EN- bedded
in the English common law.
He quOtei from Wharton on criminal
law to show that joint participants can
be convicted in different degrees, and
said the fact was 30 apparent that
Wharton did not make any argument
on 1t and from Bishop to show that
where several were charged in one in-
dict'nent, the jury could render . ver-
dict of different degrees.
He said the motion for an arrest OF
Judgment referred to Lewis List, and
did not refer to the motion for new
trial in the case Of Lewis f. List, and
unless the counsel could establish their
rights to set aside this verdict In his
case, the motion for new trial for
Lewis +. List must fall. Mr.. Gray
finished his able argument at 1910
o'clock, and was followed by Harry
Sharpley, Esq, in favor OF the motion.
He only spoke for a short time, and
said lie wished to call the attention of

some Of the States which had been ono

iitferent from those of this State. When
