HOMICIDE TRIAL.
Judge MeOlibthlClisige.
Glentienien.of the Jerry: Your Wen- .
Lion, gentlemen, for the past week,
has been occupied in listening to
the evidence in this important cause,
witb_painful interest, and I congratulate
you that it is so near its came.
It is not often that a citizen, in that
duty which he owes to his country, is
called upon to act as juror in so responsi
ble and unfortunate kind of case which
has devolved upon you. It may be you
may never be called upon again duririg
gil t :Jives to pronounce a verdict involv
the. , fate for life or death of a fellow
be g. It is a fearful responsibility, but
sub from whit% you should not shrink,
to . exercise the power, and to declare
that one of your citizens has forfeited his
tight to live-or to enjoy that freedom and
liberty maroon to an law abiding citizens
The oath yon have taken demands of
you the rendition of the verdict accord
to the evidence, even though the ef
fect thereof would deprive the accused
of 'his life. And I desire to say 'to. you,
:hit you should meet that responsibility.
in such a way as that. a peaceful con
science may foreyer atter be with you for
the faithful discharge of your duty:
Much difference of Opinion may etiat
in the minds of the canummity as to the
wisdoth of the law in 'reference to the
punishment of the higher offences, but
with that now neither yon not the Court
have anything to do. The interest of
society, the welfare and protection of the
peoPe, depend upon the full and prompt
administration of the .laws, as they exist
when Courti and furies are called upon
to discharge the dutlea devolving upon
them.
The responsibilities , arising from the
consequence of the verdict rest, not upon
ns t but upon. the framers of the laws.
Our duty is to administer the law as we
find it written upon thestatute bopk.
I now call yograltentintito questions

tion, and WI the leading and prominent
points in the evidence, and to the princi

points submitted to ns for eur answers.

On the night of the 3d of Ootober
1868, in the township of Franklin, in this
county, at the house of her father, Geo.
McCandless, while. sitting , at the table
with her parents, sister and friend, some
time after dark, eat log her supper, Miss
- Nancy Ann hicOluidless was. shot with
some deadly. weapon, the contents of
penetrated her head, face and
neck, which resulted in her death. Her
friends around tier heard the report.of
the firearm, and saw her lifeless body
fall to the door, unconscious and unable
to know what brought about her un
tinieiy end. The evidence clearly estab
lishes that the weapon was fired from the
outside of the horse by a person whom
the witness supposes had secreted him;
self, In the darkness of the night, near a
bush which stood a few feet from the
window, behind which, file suppcoed, he
was shaded from the light from the win
dow until he executed his terrible put.
pose. -
The . window glass was perforated by
the Missile of death, making a hole per
haps two inches in extcont, and what was
•
not received in her body, entered the
door beyond where she had' sat. A por
tion of the wad was found on the floor,
within a short distance from where she
lay, and a poet' mortem examination
resulted in the belief that her death was
brought about by gun or pistol; and the
wound upon her body, the surgeons say,
was sufficient to produce death.
, And during the trial of the cause we
hate received much testimony from the
numerous witnesses, showing the
theory of the COmmonwealth as well as ,
of the defendant, upon the question as to
the :character of the weapon,
which is
submittsd to you for your conidderation.
From the evidence it appears that at
the time of this occurrence the defend
ant was living with Daniel Graham, Esq.,
within a mile and a half of the father of
the deceased; that he had been there for
a period of two years, working upon
the farm, from day to day, • doing those
matters usually transacted by hired per
sons; Gun he was treated by Mr. Graham
and his family_as a member thereof, and
was allotted the ordinary familiarities in
which be lived; that prior thereto hehad
lived in, the family of Mr. McCandless ,
- for-some time; that he was a relative of
Mrs. McCandless, being the son of her
half sister; that he was intimate with the
members of the family, treated as one of
them up ' to. he time of his leaving there,
and stW. continued to go back and forth
to the house, and particularly on Sunday,
and partook of their hospitality whenever
he happened to be there at meal time.
The Commonwealth contends that be
ing in the immediate neighborhood he
had the opportunity, if he desired, to
commit the deed; that he was the owner
of fire argil, of a gun and pistol, some of
which he was in the habit , of carrying
with him, and that he was well aoluaint
ed with the use of them; that having been

and internal arrangements, and'
frequently visiting the family, he was
enabled to- mature his plans and with fa

of the fatal occurrence he left the house of
Mr; .Graham;, when it was getting dark,
and did nbf return until!, short time after

deceased, Miss' Mceandless l whb, it 'is
alleged, did not favor hist'addresses; that
he wrote letters to her, which she re
ceived and would not reply to; that these
letters contained threa . ta to take her life;
if he eonid not possess her himself he
would deprive any other of their expec
tations; and that the fatal deed was per
petrated to prevent any other- person
from enjoying her as a companion for life,
The Commonwealth have farther put
in evidence other alleged declarations of
the defendant to witnesses, tending to
prove the same purpose and intent on
the part of the defendant, which is offer
ed to prove malice towards the deceased,
and to establish the intention of defend
, ant in committing the act, and show his
identity in the performance thereof.
The Commonwealth put in evidence
'other acts of a circumstantial character,,
I ,of which I shall more fully Speak of here
'after, tending, it is alleged, to prove the
defendant as the person who fired. the
deadly weapon, and that such acts were
Malicious toward the deceased and other
I members of her family.
On the part of the defendant it is con
tended that he left the • premises of Mr.
Graham on the evening of the Bd of Oc
tober, to go to the Baptist church; that he
was seen to start, and 'that he had no
deadly Weapon in his possession; that he
Went there and , came home abotit the
tirue of the return of the grand-children
of Mr. Graham; that' he assisted to put
away the horses in the barn, and Came
back into the house, ate a piece 'with the
other persona before going to bed; that
he went to his bed as usual, having some
of the grand•ohlldren in bed with him,
including Williain English, the witness
whose testimony heti been read before
you, and that his first knowledge of the
deed being done was that communicated
to Mm by Mr. Graham during the night,
arousing him froni sleep and desiring
him PS go over to Mr. McCandless' and
render such aid or assistance as was ne
cessary under their affliction; that he
did so, borrowed a horse from dr. Gra
ham, went oat into the neighborhood
and gave the alarm that a homicide had
been committed, and returned to Mr.
Graham's before daylight and went
to bi3d. .
I have now spoken of some of the alle
gations and positions of the parties grow
ing out of the facto before you, and will
proeeed to call Your attention to the prin
ciples of taw applicable to the charge laid
in the bill of indictment, and to charge
you upon such points as have been sub
mitted to us by defendant's counsel, with
the answers thereto, and upon the rules
of law in reference to the character of
circumstantial evidence.
Murder at common law is the

wealth,
with malice aforethought, either
expressed or implied. This' definition is
adopted in this state, and-we have an act
of Assi3mbly, of 1794, which was re-en
acted in 1860. [Reads the statute.]
Yon will observe, gentlemen, it is not.
pretended by the Commonwealth that
the offence charged by 'her against the
defendant nobles within the first branch of
the act, as no attempthas been made to
show the defendant committed the
offence whiled in the act of committing
larceny, rape, robbery or burglary. But
it is contended the facts in evidence
bring the case within the provisions ,t)f
the'next tilanso, which covers all epee
where life is taken by means of poisomer
from a lying in wait, or
,by any other
kind of wilful, deliberate and premedi
tated killing, and that the defendant, it
is said, is , guilty of murder in the first
degree.
Now, under this clause, you will ob
serve it requires deliberation, reflection
and thought. When this is shown, then
the inquiry arises what was the intention,
because that is the essence of the offence,
and when that intention is to kill, the
taking of life is, under our act, murder of
thefiret degree.
Yon are to understand, gentlemen,
that the evidence must establish to your
satisfaction, beyond a reasonable doubt,
that the ace of shooting in this case, (if
you are satisfied the defendant did the
act and that it was not accidental,) was
dons with the intention totake the life
of the deceased, Nancy AnnlacCandless,
and that it was done deliberately, pre
meditatedly and wilfully, witli the view
to deprive the deceased of her existence.
As I have said, intention is the very es
sence of the offence, and this- intention
must be shown to exist at the very
time of the act. It is the true criterion
of the first degree, and it has been said
by one of our most distinguished jurists,
in delivering the opinion of the Supreme
Courtin a certain case before it, that the
intent to take life is a positive element in
this grade of the offence, and its pres
ence must be found beyond the possibil
ity of 'a reasonable dOubt. It is as essen
tial to its grade as is the killing itself.
If the proof satisfies you, beyond a rea
sonable doubt, that the defendant com
mitted the act, that it was done deliber
ately and wilfully to take the life of the
deceased, and that the shooting of the
gun produced her death, then he would
be guilty of murder in the first degree.
If, however, gentlemen, the act, al
though deliberately, premeditatedly and
wilfully executed, was not to take her
Life, but to do her bodily harm, and death
resulted from that act, he would then be
guilty of murder in the second degree
only.
This is the distinction between the
grades of the offence of murder as de
fined and laid down to us under our act
of Assembly. And the jury, if they
find from the evidence the defendant
committed the act, are to determine of
what grade •of offence he is' guilty,
whether of the first or seoond degree.
As to , the distinction, gentlemen, in
deliberation and premeditation, the law
fixes no time, which is necessary, as a
rule, in which to deliberate. It may be
a month, a week, a day, or an hour. If
the defendant had time. to think, and
form the design, and deliberately resolv
ed to kill, it is murder in the first degree.
' , No time," it is said, 4 .1 s too short for a
wicked man to form In his mind a scheme
to murder, and to contrive the manner of
accomplishing it." It may, be that in
Many cases the instrument which pro
duced death may have the effect to pro•
duce in the minds of, thejnry a belief in
a determination to take life on the, pat t
of the amused; but, gentlemen. more is
necessary to be shown than the use of
such instrument. You could not rely
mainly on such evidence alone. As I
have said, there ' , must -berthat delibera
tion and premeditation to take life, with
the use of a'deadly weapon, to warrant a

Malice, gentlemen, it is said by law
writers, can seldom be found directly,
and the evidence to show it must be made
up circumstantially., Any facts, which
go to support an inference of its exist
ence, are admissible. Hence we received
evidence of the alleged act of shooting
in the, house of Mr. McCandless, on a
'certain night spbken of by the witness;
also, the occhrrence, at the same place,
on the Sabbath day; also, the reception
of proof in reference to the contents of
the letters, allegi4 to have been received ,
by deceased, is an eftbrt Identify . the
defendant with these matters, and to
show his feelings toward' 'deceased, the
menace of defeidiet lens:link to the
evidence: before thejury a motive for
doing. the_ act charged. -
Much hail been said ,in the 'diminution
of the faists before yen On the motive
which would operate upo n the mind of the
defendant to inducts Inna to commit the
offence charged in Miff 'ease. Your own
common sense will be called on to aid
you in determining thts.fact. If you are
satisfied from the evidence that defend
ant did the act, there lam dOubt a motive
for it. This you would infer from the
act itself. When mtuder is charged, and
the evidence to s upport it is, circumstan
tial, It is always matter proper for , the
jury to' look at, the motive of the pris
oner; and When the proof is circumstan
tial, and there be no doubt about the cir
cumstances, it beoomes very important
to examine into the motive. If, however,
the evidence of murder shows design,
and it be direct and positive, then the
guilt is established without looking for a
motive.
But alldepends upon the peculiar
character Of the amused, and of the facts
and circumstances of each case. It has
been said "there is no motive • which to
the mind of an honest man can be :ado-
quote to the ooMMisadon of crime, and
just in , proportion as the mind is debased
and immoral, to that extent the motive
may be less which induces the criminal
act. Hence there can be no one xule for
all cites, as regards adequacy of motive.
It must depend on the moral character of
the person accused In each case. The
worse it ls, the less the motive which led
to the commission of the crime."
At this point His Honor took up and
answered the following law points sub
mitted by prisoner's °minas]. •
Ist.•The, facts alleged as the basis of
any legal • inference must be strictly and
inevitably connected with the fact to be
proved.
We answer this point in the affirmative.
2d. The burden is orr- the Common
wealth of clearly proving any and all
facts which infer legal accountability.
We answer this point in the affirma
tive, as ..containing proper principles of
law in this case.
Bd. In order to justify the inference of
guilt from circumstantial evidence, the
existence of Inculpatory facts must be
absolutely incompatible with the Inno
cence of the accused, and, incapable of
explanation upon any other hypothesis
than that df
We answer this point in the affirma
tive, and Vre say to you. the facts on
which the' - Commonwealth relies for a
conviction of the prisoner must be in
capable of an explanation upon - any
other hypothises than his guilt, and the
jury must be satisfied that they point to
is gull; beyond reasonable doubt.
4th. If there be any reasonable doubt
as to the reality of the connection of the
circumstances of evidence with the/ac
ts= probandurn, or as to the proper con
elusion to be drawn from the evidence,
ths jury should acquit. It is better that
ninety-nine guilty persons escape than
one innocent person suffer.
We answer this point in the affirmative.
sth. If upon the whole evidence the
jury has a reasonable doubt of the cer
tainty of any material fact, or the proper
conclusion to be drawn from the evi
dence,, they should acquit. •
We answer this, and say to the jury,
that the presumption of lawis that every
man is presumed to be innocent until he
is proved to be guilty, and therefore if yon
have, upon the whole evidence in the
case, or upon any material fact - in evi
dence, on coming to your conclusions, a
reasonable doubt in your minds as to his
guilt, you must acquit.
6th. If the Commonwealth has not; be
yond a reasonable doubt, proved the
truth of all the material facts and allega
tions, and the guilt of , the prisoner be
yond a reasonable doubt, he is entitled
to the benefit of the doubt on all material
matters, and should be-acquitted.
We have answered this point substan
tially in oar answer on the bth point.
7th. That the case is of purely circum
stantial evidence, and unless every ma
terial circumstance necessary absolutely
toconnect the prisoner with the commis
sion of the crime has been proved beyond
a reasonable doubt, he should be acquit
ted. •
Answer—There being no proof before
the jury by any witness who saw the
person who may have fired the gun or
pistol, which produced. the death of Miss'
Nanoy Ann McCandless, the Common
wealth relies upon circumstantial evi
dence to make out a conviction of the
prisoner. We have already said to yon
that every material fact in the chain of
proof, connecting the prisoner with the
oommission of the offence,must be proved
beyond a reasonable doubt, or the de
fendant IS entitled to your verdict.

leading facts In evidence. the probability

We know in the trial of cas e s in Courts

proof before yon, you 1.. net scrutinize it
carefully and oilcans' . what facts are es
tablished and to what conclusions they
lead you, and you a e not to disregard
such conclusions:
As to the good c• • cter of the defen
dant. It has been swo .n by a number of
witnesses that up to •. e time of the of
fence he sustained a g ..d character as a
peaceable and orderly citizen. In cases
of doubt this is very i • portant evidence.
If the evidence stands .alanced, or nearly
so, or if it admitted of a doubt, it would
be satisfactory to the jury to know the
true character of the defendant, and he
is entitled to the be • efit of It. If the
crime be proved upon •im •to your satis
faction, then it is of no consequence what
lily character had been. 'Yon will re
member what the witnesses have said in
their •testimony in chief and on croes.ex,
amination, and if you have a doubt in
your minds you will give the defen
dant the benefit of all the evidence
in reference to his character.
In a case of reasonable doubt as to the
guilt of the accused, evidence of previous
good character is conclusive in his favor.
And now, gentlemen, I have noticed
and called your attention to the princi
pal points in the case. I have not brought
in review before you the evidence in full,
because it has been so fully and ably
presented to you and thoroughly
scanned by the learned counsel concern
ed in the case; and thim, ,;20 doubt, you
remember it all, and it is within .your
recollection, and my duty is at an end,
and the case submitted to you for your
earefttl consideration. lhave endeavored
to do my duty unswervingly as I under
stood it. Do yours conscientiously, UT.*
ing a regard for the obligations taken up
.on you. This unfortunate man's destiny
is, now committed to your hands. The
law allows him the benefit of every reas
onable and well grounded doubt to avail'
for his acquittal. If upon the considera
tion of all the facts in the case no such
doubt rests in your minds, you must not
hesitate to pronounce him guilty, how
ever unpleasant it may be to you. Your
duty requires you to say of what degree,
But if you can, after all such examina
tion of the evidence and consideration
thereof, say you are not satisfied of his
guilt, it will be your duty to pronounce
a verdict of not guitly.
