the Government prosecutor would have
been forced Il ask her some very en-
barrassing questions in order to maintain
his theory of the mannar in which the
crime was committed. as well as the mo-
tive of Mrs. Bonnie in going to Ayres
room. Not only was this distastefuI to
him, but it is known that he felt that
such a humiliation for the woman on
trial would have prejudiciaI effect on
the jury in her favor.

As to Absence of Motive.
2. If the jury believe that the defend
ant and deceased were alone in the room
at the time of the shooting, and the de-
PENDANT shot the deceased with the in
tent to take his life or to in1ict upon
him serious bodily harm. and that such

own life or to save her from serious bod
lily harm. they should then find the de-
PENDANT guilty, Notwithstanding the evil

CiFcumstantfaI Evidence.
%. The effort Of the Government is to
prove a crime in this case partly by cir
cumstsntiaI evidence. This is not unus-
nal. The law recognizes such evidence
as competent TO establish murder or any
other crime when the circumstances are
such as to leave 70 reasonable doubt of
guilt. Many, probably majority Of con
vietions OF crime are had upon eireum-
staatiaI evidence. BY circunlstantiaI evil
dence in criminal cases is meant evidence
which proves 4 series of facts from the
existence OF which guilt is inferred.
Expert Witnesses.
- The court irstructs the jury that If
they believe that the opinion and con-
illusions of the expert witnesses are
worthless or unreasonable in the light
OF the facts in the case, they have The
right to reject such opinions. partially or
entirely. in making UP their verdict.
Hypothetical Questions.

they should not take for granted that the
statements in the various hypothetical
questions propounded to the expert wit
nesses are true. II you find from the
evidence that any OF the material state

to entirely destroy the reliability Of
opinions based upon the hypothesis stated,

the opinions based thereon You are 10

intent necessary TO constitute malice
