Mr. McNeill sail the law made no distinction between degrees of murder and there was the game penalty for every murder except in the case whore the prisoner was too young to be sentenced to death. It is not suggested that accused went to the house with the inten- tion of killing. But if the jury found him guilty they found him guilty of a terrible murder. He killed a perfectly innocent boy so that he might escape the con- sequences if caught stealing.
"I cannot peraunde myself that a crime even so terrible as this," Bald Mr. McNeill," should be rank ed in the same category as long plotted, cold-blooded and wanton crimes. Therefore, I ask you, fr you find prisoner guilty to take | into consideration his youth and the fact that is on his own con-

The whole case is very simple, made more so by the prisoner's own confession," Although it is usunt, in all cases, especially in murder cases, to tell the jury they must give the benefit of any reasonable doubt to the prisoner, and it is usual to point out those matters in the case, on which reasonable doubt may arise, 1] confess I can find nothing in this case which would raise in any ratsonal mind reasonable doubt.
