10th. The defendant has testified
before you in his own behalf, and you
are instructed to fairly consider his
testimony the same as you do that of
any witness, giving due weight to the
fact that he is deeply interested in
the result Of the trial, you are also to
consider his demeanOr upon the wit
ness stand, the reaSOnabienesS of his
story as he told it, his Intelligence,
whether he was apparently candid
or not in answering questions, making
due allowance for the mental strain
under which he may have labOred
while upon the witness stand: and
after thus fairly considering his teSti-
mOny in connection with the other
evidence in the case, you will give his
statements full weight as you as
reasonable men may think it entitled.
Now, gentlemen of the jury, have
said as much to you as | desire to of
this case.
| shall not recite the evidence in
he case; you have paid the closest
attention to it with a purpose to I'M
derstand it and apply it to the i'm
pOrtant issues involved in the case.
Every salient feature of the evidence
has been presened and commented
upon in the very complete and able
arguments of the counsel for the state
and defense.
You are not here to Justify any eX-
pectation Of the public, whatever it
may be. To do immutable Justice
should be your only purpose.
All society is interested on one
side, and the defendant is deeply in
tereSted on the other; and none of
the rights of either should be sacrifice
ed to caprice, bias or passion, but
your verdict, whatever it NAV be,
should be the result of calm delibera-
ton, calling into play all the highest
effluences of your minds seeking the
everlasting approval OF enlightened
conscience.
