Mr.. CARPENTER,
Dear Sir Doubtless the majority OF
your readers have heard of the fire which
destroyed by building ON July 9Th, but |
also wish them to hear Of the Kindness OF
my friends and neighbors throughout this
locality.
not find words to express, but wish to
publicly express my gratitude through
vour paper. It has been severe trial to
ne. and but for the kind words, deeds and
svmpathy which has been so freely given
wonld have been almost unbearable.
hope my friends may never have such
a trial, but if they do they will realize
better than can tell them how nncn good
s.mnathv and kindness may do. All that
I can say will not repay them, but l will
nav athanks, and God bless you"

you may fully and fairly investigate the
subject and arrive at an intelligent, just
verdict.
| If, after all the investigation, there
should remain reasonable doubt as to the
guilt Of the accused, it il your duty to re-.
solve 1t in his favor and acquit bin. To
other words, if you feel that the State has
failed TO satisfy your minds b. the evil
dence produced here in this trial, that th is
is the body of Charles Cans; that be came
to his death by unlawful violence at the
hands Of this defendant, then it is your
duty to acquit him. 1t is very difficult to
convey in language precise definition of
reasonable doubt. 1t implies that which
the ordinary plain meaning OF the words
convey. It is d0ubt that is reasonable
1t is that which loads the mind and con-
science, after having made full, fair, un-
biased, unprejudiced examination of the
whole ease, to say that there yet remains
reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the
defendant. 1t is not the mere balancing
of probabilities, as may obtain in civil
cases, nor, must the aggregate probability
of guilt be considered az sufficiently estab
lished while any counter probability or
fctAoVfseeOeC Rooc4DaA'ey Vi AnnuC0uCC 10 du
mitted to exist. 1t is the duty of the
State to prove him guilty beyond rea
eonsble and fair doubt and II the State
has failed to do this, it is your duty to
give the DEFENDANT the benefit of the doubt
and acquit him.
II, on the other hand, your minds are
satisfied by the evidence adduced in this
case, that there exists no reasonable doubt
as to the guilt of the defendant, of the
crime charged in this indictment, then it
is equally your duty to convict.
You are entitled to take with you the
Indictment and all the exhibits that have
been offered in this cause.

his head badly. When motorman Platt
went to his position to start the car, Evans
stood not more than six feet away and fred
his revolver directly at him, but the shot
missed its mark. The ten passengers in
the car got down on the floor, and two
shots followed the first, lodging in the car.

turn trip, when passing Chestnut street,
