we're to Judge Of the facts in the case
and only1to}tell the court whether this
defendant killed Caesar Young.
Rand spoke OF the men Of science
who made supposition and then tried
10 find If all the facts fitted to the
Isupposition. II that suposition failed
10 satisfy every fact it was discarded
and another proposition tried.
Sin such manner we will try this
case. There is one Of two things,
either Young shot himself or this de-
PENDANT shot him. We will assume,
as Mr.. Levy says, that Young shot
himself. If Young shot himself in a
cab then Young must have procured
the revolver. If Young did not pro-
cure the revolver then Young did not
shoot himself.
