closest attention to every word the Judge said ha Instructions took thirty five minutes In the reading A considerable portion was the ordinary instructions given a jury in murder cases and consisted of the legal definition of murder Doubt probability andCTidence on those parts of the case which are peculiarpeculiar were the special instructions Circumstantial evidence received the largest share and the jury was told that it is as proper to convict on that alone as on dfc rect testimony but before doing so every circumstance must be carefully weighed and examined and it must be in harmony
