Was there motive in this cass? Has
the State shown you that there was a
motive? There seems to be no dispute as
to the fact that the relations between the
deceased and the defendant were eutirelv
friendly on their trip to Paulsboro, and
also when they went to the hotel at Ger
mania Park, and it seems to Rave contin-
ned until after the disturbance between
the deceased and Devault. To such an
extent was this friendship manifested that
the deceased took it upon himself to inter
pose between the defe ndant and Devault
when he had reason to apprehend some
violence was intended toward the former.
After that, did anything occur which
would lead tfis defendant to desire to in
| fiict upon Charles Cans an injury, and, in
the pursuit Of it this result was produced.
A motive is not to be guessed at, except
it may be an inference drawn from estab-
lished facts may, to an extent, be said TO
be guessing. But, in ascribing motive, or
in ascertainiDg motive, it is your duty to
base it upon some established fact, and not
upon mere surmise, with basis of fact
to support it, and if you fail to find q
motive it become an important factor for
you to consider in this case.
| Another piece of testimony has been
called to your attention on which deem
it my duty to speak. 1t is the question oil
the hat You will remember the testimony
of Cripps, Devault and Zanes were referred
to as testifying as to the character of the
hat. In speaking of the time when Chas.
Cans went away, the witness Cripps was
asked if he had hat on and he replied
4 that he had. He was then asked whether
it was light or q dark hat. His answer
was sit looked to be dark hat" He was
asked if it was soft or slouch hat. He
said he thought tt was one of those soft
Fedora hats soft and dark ?" "Yes
sir" He was asked "Pietty sure of that
are you 2p He says that is how it looked tC
him. Devault, on the same subject, testi-
fies that when be last saw Cans at the
hotel he thinks he had on hat. When
asked what kind, be said that he could
not swear to that and when asked If he
could remewb wber the color he said ht
thought it was soft hat, at least bs
wouldn't swear to that, but that was hiI
impression. When asked if he remembered
the color of it he said he couldn't, but thai
be thought it was darkish it might hav,
been some other color, and that be wouli
not be qualified to that. In reference tt
the witness Zane, think the Prosecutor
in referring to him on this subject, mus
have fallen into error. have failed tt

hotel, but came there shortly after Charlie
