which shall be committed in the

any arson, rape, robbery or burglary
shall be deemed murder in the first
degree; and all other kinds of mur-
der shall be deemed murder in the

the accused pleads guilty, in which

The homicide is not deemed mur-

year and a day after receiving the
injury, the day on which it was re-
ceived being counted the first day
of this period.
AS to the guilt of the parties con-
, cerned in a homicide, when they act
in concert, with the common pur-
pose of injuring their victim, the act
of each, in carrying out this pur-
pose, is the act of all and they are
equally guilty. The one who actual

cipal in the first degree. Others who
are present, aiding and abetting, or

them, in either the procedure or the
