Kvery man is presumed to be innocent
until found ftuiliy ; the prosecution must
make out the guilt of the anx-uncl, and .how
tiiat none other than ihey could have com
mitted the robhery ; thai the prisoners must
have the benefit of reasonable doubts. What
is a reasonable doubt? Many deCnations.
Hut take this, if you were particularly con
nected witb the prisoner, a doubt would
lead you to aoiu it. So you ought to view
your duty in this case. '
Four men are weeded out. ami only f mr
are before you ; i:evanus tries to identify
them, and having seen the men ofien. final
ly, through prejudice thought they might be
the men. E.la Date.- identifies Lewis and
Ta-ker. by having seen them before; eunld
nx others have been mistaken for them.
Mr. Yoder. with good eyesight could not
say these were Ihe men who so brutally
abused and robbed liim. Again, none f tiie
money was found and identified, and the
fact thai a lew dollars were found in the os-
ion of one of the Sullivan was no evi
dence, as any y-vai; man wail easily make
a little money. Tbe prisoners were not
identified by any peculiar mark about them;
