that unless the evidence IL pretty
clear. the presiding Judge is warranted
in doing as Judge Edwards did in this

and there was no .,ensure on the part
of any one.
In sustaining the motion of the de-
PENDANT for directed verdict of not
guilty Judge Edwards n substance
said the state might have had an easier
job with the element of suicide out. II
Chester Van Horn had been found with
his head split open or in some manner
that would have excluded the theory OF
suicide. the evidence might have been
clearer The state mad 70 meet the
situation of man found with a bull

The fact that Chester Van Horn was
found dead was not sufficient in itself
to establish that Il crime had been
committed The state must show be-
yond all easona Bile doubt that ches-
ter Van Horn did not commit suicide.
My opinion is that the state has
failed to do this. There is nc criminal
