The defendant, Lilly NJ. Gould, stands
charged with the crime of murder.
Murder is Where one human being
takes the life OF another from motives of
malice; or, as the law books say. with
malice aforethought.
Manslaughter is the unlawful killing
of another without malice, expressed or
implied. Malice is the grand criterion
which distinguishes murder from other
killing.
Any formed design of doing mischief,
whether arising from hatred and revenge
against deceased, or from a peryerse ma
lightly and deprayity of heart in general,
constitutes malice aforethought.
Malice in fact, or express malice, con-
sists in deliberate purpose to take the
life of the person slain, or to do him some
bodily harm. the intention being ascer-
.aincd from external circumstances, By
