GUILTY OF MURDER
IN FIRST DEGREE
Concluded from Page H.

of the case are considered by you, there
still exists in your minds rcasonabl Die
doubt that the defendant is guilty you
cannot fnd this man guilty. The peo-
pie have submitted evidence tending to
show that this defendant committed
this crime they have given evidence
tending to show that It was prelnedi-
tated. If YOU are satisfied that there
was design and premeditation, and IL,
In accordance with that premeditation
and design, these shots were fired. then
the defendant Is guilty of the crime Of
murder In the first degree. You must
consider all this evidence that the peo-
pie have submitted to you. You must
consider it fairly and without preju-
dice. You are the sole judges of the
facts in this ease"
Wholesome Respect for Law.
Continuing. Justice White said: II
am very glad that TAP to the present
stage of this lamentable affair, SO far
as the jurors and the people of this
city are concerned. there has been
shown that respect for the law that is
bound to teach a valuable object les
son. The defendant has been given
every advantage of experienced Coun-
sci
1T is proper that | should define the
crime of murder in the first and second
degrees, and mauslaughter In the first
and second degrees. If the defendant
on September 6 did wrongfully assault,
shoot or wound William Mckinley by
means alleged in the indictment, and
II the act was committed with pre-
meditated design, and if the act was
the sole aud approximate cause OF
death. and If the defendant knew he
was doing wrong at the time. the de-
fendant was guilty of murder in the
first degree.
"if the act was not premeditated, he
was guilty of murder in the second de-
gree. If the shot was fired accident
ally and without generalization, he is
guilty of manslaughter in the first de-
gree. 1t Is not necessary for me TO dis
cuss the question of manslaughter in
the second degree in this case
Justice White then commended the
Jurors for their patience during the
trial. and ordered them to retire and
bring i'm a verdict
Just before they did so, however. Dis
trict Attorney Penney requested the
Judge to charge the jury that the law
presumes every individual sane unless
proven otherwise, and the court said 10
them: "The law presumes the defend
ant in this ease sane"
Lawyer Titus asked the court to
charge the jury, "that if they We're sat
isiied from the evidence that at the
time of the committal of the assault
the defendant was laboring under such
defect of reason as not to know the
quality of the act or that it was wrong
he was not responsible and the jury
must acquit."

Questions to Decide.

Judg" Lewis referred feelngly to the
personality of President Mckinley and
the awfulneSs of the crime committed
There IL only one question for the
lury to decide in this case" said Mr.
Lewis. THE law mercifully provides
that If reasonable doubt exists In your
minds, you must give the defendant
the benefit of that doubt Now, we
have been unable to present any de-
tense. The prisoner has ..teadfastly
refused TO aid us in any way. If the
jury could find in their minds that this
man was irresponsible and give him
the benefit OF that belief it would lift
from the minds of the people of this
country great load. 1t would be bet
ter to think that the act of the man
was the act of a madman rather than
an assassin staying SO noble "A man in
cold blood"
Judge Lewis broke down as he again
referred to President Mckinley. and
when he ended his address tears flowed
down his furrowed checks.
Judge Titus then arose and address
Cd the court. His colleague. he said,
had presented the case and covered
the ground so fully that he did not care
TO add anything to il.

The question is a simple one" said
Mr.. Penney "No evidence has been

consider him so. when YOU consider
the frightful crime, the enormity Of
