JUDGES REMARKS
In Sentencing John 8. Baker an r...a.v

on motion of County Attorney Haines
'ohh .. Baker convicted of murder in the
second degree, and Harry Burns, convicted
OF manslaughter, were brought in and nlacad
at the bar. Mr.. Haines moved for sentence
in the case of Baker
Before pronouncing sentence upon Baker
the court said
Inc government claimed that the prisoner
was guilty of the highest crime known TO the
laws OF this State, viz, murder of the frst
degree. The plain language of the statute
was twice given to the jury BY the court. and
It's application explained by reference to the
dennition of other crimes, and of an lat
tempt when murder is committed in
perpetratlng or attempting to perpetrate a
crime punishable by Imprisonment for life.
OF LOT an unlimited term of years, it shall be
deemed murder of the first degree" In adj
dition to this the Jury were three times re-
CURED In the course of the charge, to deter
NINE, independently of his purpose in going
there, whether the prisoner applied the vio-
fence and caused the death, in attempting to
perpetrate the crime of rape, and if so, thew
were told, he would be guilty of murder in
the nrst degree. Once they were told that if
ne applied the violence for the independent
and different purpose claimed by the counsel
for the prisoner, he would be guilty of MUIR
der IN the second degree, it being murder
committed otherwise than is set forth in the
section read, for causing death either in the
pursuit of the unlawful design claimed, or by
an act in itself peculiarly dangerous to
human life"
The last sentences in the charge relating to
the issue were as follows: ''The great and
solemn responsibility is upon you to deter
mine what the nature of that transaction was,
and whether he applied that violence in per-
petrating or attempting to perpetrate the
crime of rape. If so, it is your duty to rem
der verdict of guilty of murder in the first
degree If not, you are only authorized to
render verdict for murder in the second
degree.
The presiding Judge is prohibited BY statute
from expressing any opinion upon issues of
fact, and by his position from enforcing any
by way of argument. Notw outstanding the
able arguments of the prosecuting off GERS,
the jury found that the prisoner did not apply
the violence in attempting to commit the
crime of rape, and accordingly found him
guilty of murder in the second degree.
1t therefore only remains for me to pro,
nounce upon the prisoner the sentence of the
law.
John s. Baker, the sentence of the lar is
that you be punished by Imprisonment al
hard tabor during the period of your natural
life, md that this sentence be inflicted upon
you IN the State prison at Thomaston IN our
county of Knor, and that you be aoW re-
manded to Jail to remain untiL remOred to the
State prison in pursuance of this sentence.
