laws are such that he is defended by two

The Judges Charge.
Justice White began his charge TO the
jury at 1888. He arose from his seat and
stepped to the side of the bench nearest
the jury box He told the Jury that in
spite Of the fact that the defendant had ac-
knowledged his guilt. 'such an acknowl-
edgment IN such circumstances cannot go
to the jury or the court. The law requires
that the defendant charged with such a
crime must be tried. The law says that
all the facts must be observed and re-
viewed by the jury. The law guarantees
that the defendant shall have a fair trial
by men impartial and fair, capable of TAX
ing the testimony of the trial and giving 1t
thorough consideration. IT, when all the
circumstances of the case are considers
by you there still exists In your minds a
reasonable doubt that the defendant is not
guilty. You cannot find this man guilty.
Inc people have submitted evidence tend
ing to show that this defendant commit
ted this crime; they have given evidence
tending to show that 1t was premeditated.
IT you are satisfied that there was de-
Sign and premeditation, and II in accord
ance with that generalization and design,
these shots were fired. then the defendant
is guilty Of the crime of murder in the
first degree.
1.-The jury must find him guilty beyond a
reasonable doubt. If. in their minds there
is any doubt as to the defendants guilt.
they are bound to acquit the defendant. II
there is no doubt in your minds, then YOU
are bound to bring in a verdict of convic-
ton. am very glad that up to the present
stage OF this lamentable affair so far as
the jury and people of this city are con-
