Definitions of Murder
n Various Types

der Section 124OO, unless it is
done with intent to kill.
However, ina prosecution for
first degree murder perpetrating
arson there must be a purpose
and intent to kill before the crime
of murder is complete, the COM
mon law rule is not the law of
the State Of Ohio.
For example: Where "a" did
not Intentionally point and aim
his pistol at "B", but the same
accidently discharged without fault
on his part, and was not at the
time engaged in an unlawful act,
he can not be found guilty of any
offense under an indictment for
murder in the first degree.
Proof of Crime: The Purpose" or
"Intent" to kill is proved by all
the circumstances surrounding the
case, by what the party does and
says, the place where the blow
was struck, the name of the in
flicting wound, the instrument
used and it's tendency to destroy
life.
Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt:
"Intent" to kill must be estab-
lished beyond a reasonable doubt,
and this rule is not changed by
reason of the introduction of evil
dence by the accused intended
to prove the the homicide was &C.
cidental. The legal effect of such
evidence being, simply to contro-
vert an inferance of "Intent" to
kill which may arise by evidence
introduced by the state. A man

JACKSON, Miss. (ANP) "Col-
etha I love you". These words
were said by Marion Burks, 26,
while he was being held in jail
here for attempted suicide last
week.
Witnesses saw Burks body after
he had leaped from his second
floor bedroom with one end of a
sheet around his neck and the
other around the bed. An uniden-
titled woman placed Burks' dang
ling legs on her head and shoulders
just as the police arrived at the
scene. AS he stood on his rescuer's
head to relieve the pressure, Burks
was united, and taken to Jail
where he was booked for attempt
ed suicide.
Burks said that difficulty with
his girlfriend was the cause Of his
desire toend his life.

Crimes Violence Hit
New High in January

But we will not stop there. That
is generally where everyone stops.
Punish the criminals tothe fullest
extent ofthe law, satisfy justice,
and return tothe sequestered lanes
of life. A thorough and complete
study should be made ofthe life
and habits of the Individuals
guilty Of committing such out
RACES. They are not normal, be-
cause it is not normal to kill some
one in cold-blood, with so little
cause.
The EXPRESS waged an inten-
sive campaign two years ago when
a wave of murders and violent
killings occurred in Dayton. The
campaign resulted in a definite
decrease in the rate of such crime.
1t is now necessary to renew that
campaign. What has happened in
the past month has surpassed any
thing that has happened before.
Once again the good sense Of
the majority Of people living in
this community is appealed to. Let
us rephrase that: we appeal to
the common sense of the minority,
the small minority which is capa-
BILE of such foolishness. There is
nothing tobe gained from that,
but misery and tragedy for every
one. Not only those directly con-
cerned, but the entire Negro COM
munity.
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1950-02-01

There has been an upsurge in
the number Of violent deaths in
the community since the first of
the year. The month Of January
has been one Of the worst in
several years as far as crimes of
violence are concerned. There have
beens tx violent killings in that
period.

accounts Of some of these MUIR

had been playing cards with her

according to witnesses and obtain

brutal and cold-blooded killing, a

Has Detroit found the answer
to Washington's-and the Nations
fund drive problem?
/ Tired of successive fund cam
paigns, the Michigan automotive
capital last year merged major
independent efforts into a united
Torch Fund" The one-package
drive raised $9.2 million-27 per
cent more than the same causes
raised separately the year before.
/ Now civic leaders here are pro-
noting a similar plan. They want
to join together the Community
Chest, Red Cross and at least five
other major fund-raisers - plus
other smaller ones in the fields of
health, welfare. recreation and
emergency relief.
! Detroit's experience is proving
the big selling point. This is what
happened there: s..
In January. 1949. a group of
industrial and labor leaders, in
cluding Henry Ford II. C. E. VIII
son. president of General Motors,
and Walter p. Reuther. president
of the CIO United Automobile
Workers, were instrumental in the
formation of a non-prof1t corpora
j ton called the United Founda-
tion." whose purpose was to unity
drives.
The foundation secured a 75-
man board of civic leaders, pulled
together % State and national
health and service agencies and
launched test campaign for
1898, 500. The drive opened on
February 7 and ran for 81 days.
1t raised $807 ,582-which was
$550,000 more than the same
agencies had raised in separate
appeals in 1948.
Drive Hits 1887 of Goal.
The drive was confined to 200
industrial and business firms en-
ploying more than 800 persons,
and 1000 special gift prospects,
including philanthropic founda-
tions, smaller corporations and
wealthy individuals.
With this experience, plans were
made for a major campaign in
the fall. For this campaign $50
business Arms were enlisted, each
employing at least 100 persons.
Each established what was called
chapter" of the United Foun-
dation-and each flrm decided
that the chapters campaign would
be the only one permitted during
the year. Chapters could desig-
nate where their contributions
were to go.
The Torch Drive" opened Oc-
tober 13 and closed November 10
1t sought $8.5 million. 1t raised
that and $3.50, 900 more-or 10e
per cent of the goal.
Payroll deductions played a
large part inNthe drives success
They were permitted by 80 pei
cent of the salaried and hourly
rated employees in the participat-
ing factories and offices. Ford en-
ployes alone gave $856.000, nearly
twice as much as they had given
to all individual campaigns the
year before.
There also was a door-to-uoor
campaign IN residential areas and
small offices, but the large firms
were the biggest source of contri-
butions-1lore than IS per cent.
Independent Drives Conducted.
Torch Drive participants in
cluded the Community Chest
