cause for regret that the franchise was
given. There will also be a toll box

lleuent necessary to establish
lime charged, the defendant
I'D receive tue benoiit of such
doubt.
In this case evidence has been intro
duced tending to show the character
of the defendant for peace and quiet
at the time Dennis O'Neal was killed
IL is proper for ycu to consider this
evidence.
While the indictment, in terms,
charges the defendant with the com
mission of the crime of murder IN the
firSt degree, it also includes and
charges the defendant with murder III
the second degree and with manslangh-
ter. as the greater includes the less.
You NAV, if the evidence warrant
II. find the defendant guilty of murder
IN the first degree. murder In the see
cnd degree. or voluntary mansiaugh-
ter. You cannot, however. under
this charge convict the defendant of
involuntary manslaughter.
II will be observed that the dis
t;netiye features between the crimes
az murder in the first and second de
gree is in the character and quality of
the malice with which the act is done
In murder in the first degree the
homicide must be committed with pre-
malice. while In murder IN
the seeend degree there must be malice
withoutApremeditation.
To constitute murder IN the first de-
gree the killing shall be wilful, de-
liberate and premedi.ated; still. it
does not require that wllful intent.
reconciliation or deliberaiion shall
exist for any appreciable length of
TINA before the crime Is committed
II person has actually formed the
s nurpose to kill aud has delJberated
and premeditated upon II before he
performs the act and then performs it.
he ia guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree. however short the time may have
been between the formal of the
purpose and the execution.
TO constitute murder IN the second
degree the killing must nave been pur-
posely done. with malice. but without
deliberation and premeditation.
In law the meaning of the word
malice is comprehensive 1t inc 'udes
i'll will, hatred, anger, revenge; also
all m.levoleut and wicked motives.
An act done with a wicked mind aud
motive and attended with such circum-
stances as plainly indicate heart re-
gardiess of social duty and fatally bent
on mischief, indicates malice within
the meaning of the law.
In prosecution for murder either
in the first or second degrees it is
necessary for the state to prove the
existence of malice upon the part of
the defendant at the time the act con-
shutting the crime was committed be-

sfsnpfy mo the question OF his guilt OF
voluntary manslaughter, you will
likewise in that case, find the defend
ant not guilty of murder either in
the first or second degree as charged
in the Indictment. If you find the de-
fendant not guilty, you will SO state in
your verdict.
Speculations ss to the outcome of
the trial are as idle as are all such
speculations, and the result will not be
known with any degree of accuracy
until the jury shall have come in. The
guesses on the verdict range from first
degree with life sentence, through all
the possible penalties set forth by the
judges charge, down to acquittal. The
most common guess appears to be
manslaughter, with an indeterminate
sentence for from two to twenty years,
while the adherents to the second de-
gree murder theory, with a life inn
prisoument at Michigan City, are ''sot
in their way" and refuse to belive
aught else until the jury shall have
announced it in the past tense.

disappointment in the lines, for after

train approached Easthaven it

AT CENTERvILLE.
The greatest demonstration ever
seen in Centerville, took place wher
the battery arrived there this morning
about 10:30 o'clock and the little town
fairly went wild with Joy and enthu-
siasm and never did any body of
soldiers receive more hearty welcome
than was accorded them by the people
of Centerville. John Harvey and
Walter Commons, fathers of Flave
II \
bers of the battery, were the leading
spirits of the movement TO entertain
the boys and they were assisted by
every citizen, young and old, in the
town, and nothing was left undone fiD
order to give the men q hearty red
ton. When they arrived at Center
vile, accompanied by Messrs. Harvey
and Commons, who met them at thu
city, the eyes of the hungry men were
greeted with the sight of great
long tables in the midd1o OF
the street leading up from tie station.
The tables were loaded TO the edges
with spring chicken, mashed potatoes,
steaming hot coffee, good home made
bread and country butter, cakes, pies.

stomachs of the soldiers. And how
those soldiers did eat. They went

stopped for ceremony, and no one ex-

almost an hour, and there was not a
hungry lad in the crowd, nor tuil
dish on the table: in other words. tbe
order had been suddenly reversed and
the soldiers were full and the dishes
were empty. The entire company
were profuse in their thanks to the
citizens of CenteryIile for their grand
reception and the town has been
given a warm spot in the heart of
every soldier.

coming intoxicated, and that when IN
! toxicated he was quarrelsome. violent
and dangerous, and that the defendant
!, had information of these facts. Evi-
dence of this character, like that OF
threats in case of homicide. is per-
mitted for the purpose of enabling the
jury to determine as to who was the

fendant really and in good faith acted IN
