DAVIS JURY STILL OUT
Calls for Additional Instructions -
DeadIocked on Second Degree or
MansIaughter.
pecial to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-R Republican.
Des Moines, April 25.-The jury in
the case of M. E. Davis, the young
druggist who shot his wife while in
toxicated, was still out at $3.50 this aft
ernoon. The jury at that time asked
the court for additional instructions.
1t is assured that verdict Of first
degree murder will not be returned,
the Jury being deadlocked on the
question of a verdict for second de-
gree murder or manslaughter.
The portion of Judge McHenry's in
structions covering drunkenness is as
follows:
"The defendant in this case, as one
of his defenses, contends that he was
so intoxicated at the time of the shoot
ing mentioned in the indictment and
the testimony, that he did not know
what he was doing; that he could not
entertain the specific intent necessary
to constitute the crime charged in the
Indictment nor could he, by reason of
such intoxicated condition, premeditate
and deliberate upon the act which is
the basis of this charge. And upon this
issue you are instructed that drunken
ness is no defense to crime actually
committed.
"But in this class of cases If drunk
enness does exist, it is circumstance
for you to consider. And if it shall
appear from the testimony that the de-
fendant was so far intoxicated as to be
deprived of his mental faculties to such
an extent that he was incapable of de-
liberating or premeditating and incap
able of entertaining in his mind the
specific intent to kill the said Bessie
Davis, as charged in the Indictment.
then the defendant could not be guilty
of murder in the first degree"
Drunkenness is no defense whatever
in murder of the second degree or man
slaughter, according to the courts in
structions. If the state proved conclr-
sively that Mrs. Davis was shot and
killed by NJ E. Davis. whether he vas
drunk or not, he is guilty.
