Associated Press Dispatches to theHERALD1
SANTA Rosa, February 4.-The
charge of Judge Rutledge in the Nor
row trial, to-day, admonished the ju-
rors that they must be governed by
the evidence bearing directly upon the
case. The guilt of other persons
should not affect the verdict in the
case. If the evidence satisfies the
jury that Northey attempted to bribe
Wood, and Morrow directed or en-
couraged such attempt, it was their
duty to find defendant guilty. A doub
to justify acquittal must be a reasons
BILE doubt. Where the evidence il on :
tirely circumstantial it must be such
as will convince as fully as direct and
positive evidence. The defendant is
entitled to the benefit of all doubt,
and you cannot find Morrow guilty
unless you find that he communi. .ated
with Nortney before the offer to bribe
Woods. The jury cannot convict on
the testimony Of Woods if they believe
Woods an accomplice. The jurors can
infer whether or not Woods agreed to
accept bribe. A refusal of witness
to be sworn should not initiate against
the defendant. The proof of guilt
must be by substantial evidence, and
the comments Of the press upon the
case should not weigh with the jury.
If the facts shown can be reconcilod
with innocence, then the verdict must
be not guilty. The jury cannot con-
vict on a preponderance If evidence
if there be any doubt Of guilt. lfthe
Wright case was put in the hands ef
the defendant to compromise and
settle, it was legitimate, unlees illegal
means were used. If you find that
McCord and Northey attempted, one
or both, to bribe Woods, you must find
that Morrow instigated him to do soto
convict him.
The Court then instructed the jury
as to the form of verdict, and Ut three
O'Clock they retired to deliberate. 81
THE VERDICT.
The jury returned. after delibera-
ton of three-quarters of an hour, with
verdict for acquittal.
