armed with warrant authorizing him
to do that. The verbal direction Of the
Mayor to Lewis, which was put in evi-
dence, bestowed no authority on him to
arrest Elliott it was not substitute for

law.
It is not disputed, that Q short time
before Elliott was killed, he had quar-
rel in Doorley's saloon with one william
Eakin, and knocked him down. That
was violation OF one the ordinances of
Hillsboro, The fact that Eakin called
him . liar was no justification in law for
knocking him down. II you find from
the evidence, that within very short
time after this occured-as soon as pos

for to arrest Elliott, that Lewis, as Mar

OF Elliott that Elliott, on seeing Lewis
approach, started to leave the town in Q
hurried manner; then Lewis pursued

overtaking Elliott, had the lawful right
to arrest him, notwithstanding he had
no warrant for that purpose.

that Elliott was drunk ct that time, that

of Hillsboro; and, withouta warrant, he
had the lawful right to arrest him. II

Intentionally and maliciously.
It is principle of natural justice "a
well as of our law tnat the intention and
act must both concur to constitute the
crime. There can be no murder COM
mitted by anyone when there Is no
original intention. The act OF killing
does not make the actor guilty unless
the intention was criminal. This wise,
just and reasonable rule is firmly settled
in the common law, 1t ID recognized and
observed in every enlightened system OF
jurisprudence. Where, however, Grim
inal act is knowingly and willfully COM
mitted, the law presumes q criminal in
tent and the offender is responsible for
all the natural and probable conse-
quences which ensue from the unlawful
act, although such results were mot con-
templated by him. If you should deter
mine that Lewis fred the shot which
killed Elliott, the next question is, "Did
he do it intentionally or purpoeely ~
He is not guilty unless he did.
Again you cannot find Lewis guilty
of murder unless you are convinced, be-

that he maliciously shot Elliott.
Malice does not necessarily mean i'll.
will, hatred and revenge. That is the
popular sense of the term. Applied to
this case, 1t is not necessary that Lewis
should have any ill-will or hatred for
Elliott to make his killing Of Elliott

MAKING A SPEECH.
II Usually Involves Very Serious Phys'-
cal Strain.

1t may look like a very easy thing for
n member, having his speech written, to
deliver it during the course Of ar hour
in the House. but it is not such an easy
thing as it looks. The average speaker
gets deal of atheletic exercise during
the course of an hours speech. There
are some members in the house who can
stand and read speech without lifting
hand except to turn the pages, and al-
most without changing position; and
there are other members who can talk
all day without getting tired; but the
average speaker perspires as if he were
saving wood. An otfhand speech of
10 minutes does not count, but the man
who throws his arms in the air as If
whirling Indian clubs, hammers his desk
like a blacksmith, and dances all around
the place for an hour orso, is taking very
violent exercise. Experience has taught
some of them that it is not safe to make
such speech without taking extra pre-
caut ons against cooling off too quickly
afterward.
! know several members who take ex-
traordinary precautions. They do not
speak often. They know for weeks be-
fore hand that they are to speak, and
after all preparations are made for the
speech itself, and the day comes for the
effort, they have a servant bring a com
plete change of linen and underwear and
heavy overcoat To the Capitol, and wait
with these things at hand until the speech
is ended. Then the speaker with the
perspiration pouring off him, rushes to
the cloak room, where the servant stands
with the coat ready, and throws it over
his shoulders as soon rs he comes within
reach. Next the member, with the col
lar Of his Overcoat turned up, tucks his
dry undertaking under his arm and
makes for the bath rooms. There he en-
tiers the waiting room. where the tenn
perature is high and there can be no
draught, being under ground, and waits
to cool off a little preparatory to bath.
There is no more work for him in the
House that day. When he has got his bath
he makes for his lodgings as fast as lie
can. and stays there until thoroughly
