IVIX.XIB SMITH CASE AFFIRMED DV THE SUPREME COURT. Exhaustive Opinion Shorrs that the Instructions of the Lower Court Contained !N'o Errors. The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed the decision of the Marion Criminal Coin In the case of Winnie Smith, charged with the murder of Western B. Thomas. The opinion. by Chief Justice Howard. Is as follows: i TJ16 PPHnt tras indicted for murder thr? Lst degree, for the killing of West6 n. h0"- On the trial he was found guilty of manslaughter, and was sentenced to Imprisonment in the State's prison for eighteen years. The only error assigned in this appeal is tne overruling of the motion for a new ; J r thls assignment it Is first contended that the court erred in giving to the jury of Its own motion, instruction No. 20. . instruction reads as follows: if you believe from the evidence that any witness, before testifying in .s case, nas made any statements out of court conEP'.ns ny of the material matters materially different and at variance with what Pi? or wne has 8tated on the witness stand, then the Jury are instructed by the court that these facts tend to Impeach either the recollection or the truthfulness of the witness, and the Jury should consider these facts in estimating the weight which ought to be given to his or her testimony, and if the jury believe from the evidence that the moral character of any witness or witnesses have been successfully Impeached on this trial, then that fact should also be taken into consideration In estimating the weight Which ought to be given to the testimony of such witness or witnesses.' "it is objected that, 'in giving the first Part .Of the instruction, the court clearly invadel the province of the Jury, as to the weight to be given to evidence, by .telling the jurors, as a matter of law. what certain evidence tended to prove.' And a dictum is quoted from Guetig vs. State (03 Ind., 282), to the effect that 'What evidence proves or teaua to prove, after it has gone to the Jury, 3 a question solely for the Jury to decide; It is error for the court to interfere with their decision upon the weight of evidence by an Instruction. "In the Guetig case there was evidence introduced at the trial which tended to prove that the appellant was subject to attacks of epilepsy. There was in that case, also, evidence tending to show that epiUpsy is a disease which tends to produce insanity. The insanity of the appellant was urged as his main defense. Under these circumstances the court Instructed the Jury In that case that 'This evidence would not be sufficient to raise a reasonable doubt of appellant's sanity at the time of the alleged commission of the homicide. The instruction was condemned by thla court 'because It directly states that certain evidence which Is legitimately before the Jury is not sufficient to prove a certain fact, or to raise a reasonable doubt of a certain fact.' There can be no question that the ruling so made was correct. The instruction directly charged the Jury as to what .weight they shoull give to the evidence. That is a matter exclusively within the province of the Jury. The decision in that case, however, goes no farther, and we do not think it is authority on the point now before us. The evidence referred to in the instruction in - the case at bar was concerning statements made by a witness out of court materially different from those made by the witness in court. As to such evidence of statements made out of court, the words objected to In the Instructions are: The Jury are instructed by the court that these facts tend to impeach either the recollection xr the truthfulness of the witness, and the Jury should consider these facts in estimating the weight which ought to be given to his or her testimony.' "We think the plain intent of this clause of the Instruction was to inform the Jury as to the character or tendency of the evidence in question, namely that it was impeaching; in other words, that its introduction was allowed because it tended to impeach the witness,. and not because it tended to establish any issue in the case. The manifest purpose of the instruction was, therefore, to point out the nature of the evidence and to limit the consideration to which It was entitled by the Jury. "This was strictly the province of the court. Indeed, tho court. In the very act of permitting the introduction of any item of evidence, must of necessity pass upon Ps tendency. If the evidence offered does not tend to prove any material issue in. the case, or to impeach a witness, or to serve any other legitimate purpose of the trial, the court must exclude it. This is not weighing the evidence, but it is , passing Judgment upon the tendency, character or purpose of the evidence. - "While the Jury are the sole Judges of the facts, and also have the right in criminal 58.est0 determine the law (Soc. 1832 It. S, 1891; Sec. 1823 II. S. 1SS1). yet. by the same statute, it is required that the court charge the Jury as to the law, and also that in charging the Jury he must state to them all the matters of law which are necessary for their information in giving their verdict. "It was certainly necessary for the information of the Jury that they should be told the nature of the testimony referred to; namely, that it was impeaching that it was not Introduced to prove any issue In the case, but solely tended to impeach either the recollection or the truthfulness of the witness.' Otherwise, and had the instruction rot been so given, the Jury might have thought it their duty to apply the evidence to the issues In the case. It was thus in the Interest of appellant himself, as well as of the State, that the Jury should be informed that the tendency or purpose of such evidence was solely to discredit a witness, and not to establish any issue, either for or against either party. TItE USE OF IMPERATIVES. "It 13 also claimed to be error that the court charged that 'the 'Jury should consider' the Impeaching evidence introduced in estimating th weight which ought to be given to the testimony of a witness, and should also, for the same purpose, take into consideration the fact, if they should so find it, that the moral character of any witness had been successfully Impeached. We. do not think that in making this charge 'the court Invaded the province of the Jury. It cannot be doubted that, under the law. it is the duty of the Jury to consider all evidence introduced on the trial and not withdrawn by the court. The evidence Is Introduced for that very purple, namely-that U.ay b? considered for vhat It Is -.north hat weight, if any. the Jury may give to any item of evidence is or them I to say; but th-y are not Justified in failing to give consideration to the evider.ee brought before them And, surely, If R U their duty to consider the evidence. It cannot be error for the court to. so tell them. The very purpose of the instructions of the court 13 to Inform the juryffJisJx duty. "It haa someflmis been said that the word 'should in such charge is too imperative a character-that the expression ought to be Mt is the duty of.' or it Is the province of the Jury.' And we are inclined to think that It might be better to use such permissive form, rather than the seemingly imperative word here used. It would be better that there should not be even the appearance of error. Yet t is but a matter of expression and the essential meaning is not changed. In any of the forms used the Jury ar- told only what is their duty, namely, to v jnstder the evidence adduced on the trial. What weight, if any. ought to be given to such evidence, is for the Jury alone to say, and the instruction does not touch upon that right. Neither is R true that the instruction singles out or discredits any witness or class of witnesses. The language used by the court is general in form and applies to all witnesses who may be affected by It. without specifically pointing out any "It Is next insisted that the court erred In refusing to give instruction Number 17 asked by the defendant, which is as follows: "'And at this point the court instructs you as to the defense set up by the accused that he killed Thomas In self-defense, that In order for the defendant to succeed under that plea. It Is not required that the evidence should satisfy that the killing was Justifiable, under the doctrine of self-defense as hereinbefore given. Under this plea the defendant cannot be convicted if upon the whole evidence you or one of you entertain a reasonable doubt whether the killing was not done under such circumstances as rendered it Justifiable. "The contention here male is that nowhere is there any instruction given which covers the part covered by this instruction namely, that the rule of a reasonable doubt applies to the defense of self-defense. We do not think this contention Is Justified. It is not doubted that the only defense shown in the record is that of self-defense. The time, place and circumstances of the killing are not in dispute, nor is the fact that the killing was done by the appellant. The sole issue on the trial was whether the killing was excusable on the plea of selfdefense. With that condition of affairs, we think the Instructions given by the court fully covered that hre requested. In two instructions the tenth and the thirteenth the court fully advised the Jurv as to the rights of the apjellant undtr the plea cf self-defense, the only rda made by him ' In th. eleventh Instruction the presumption of Innocence is dwelt upon, and the Jury are admonished that the appellant cannot be convicted of even the lowest decree of crime covered by the Indictment until the- evi

dence satisfies them. and each one of them, of the existence of every hwedsent of the crime charged. In the twelfth instruction the Jury arc fully informed on the doctrine ' of reasonable doubt, as applied to this case, and they are told that before co.nvlctlon they must be confirmed beyond reasonable doubt by the evidence, of whatever class It may be. and considering all the facts and circumstances in the evidence as a whole.' Even more than this, the court in its first instruction, after stating the charge as made in the Indictment, sets forth the appellant's defense, making also specifio allusion to the plea of self-defense, the only excuse urged, or that could be urged, by him. for the killing. 'To this indictment says the court, 'the defendant enters 'the general plea of "not guilty." Upon the Issue thus Jojjied the burden is upon the State to prov, beyond all reasonable doubt, every material allegation of the indictment, that he actually . killed Western 13. Thomas, In manner and form, and at the time charged in the indictment,. and that such killing was done under such circumstances as the law will not excuse.' Had the killing been done in -elf-defense the law would have excused it, and that the killing was not so done, that such excuse does not exist, must be proved by the State, savs the instruction, 'beyond all reasonable doubt.' We think, therefore, that the Jury were, in fact, fully Informed that the rule of reasonable doubt applied to the whole case, and to every specific part of it. Including the defense of self-defense. Consequently there was no error in refusing to give Instruction number seventeen, as requested. INSTRUCTION TWENTY -THREE. "Complaint ia next madfn that the court refused to give instruction number twentythree, asked by the appellant, and in which the facts claimed to have been proved by him, with the law applicable . thereto, are stated, and the law claimed to apply thereto, relate to appellant's plea of self-defense. The court gave twenty-one carefully prepared instructions, in which the Jury were very fullv and fairly Informed of their duty as to the whole case, and also as to the rules of law applying thereto. The Instructions relating to self-defense were most favorable to the appellant. "A aid in Koerner va. State C9S Ind., 7), 'When the court has put the whole case to the Jury by proper and full Instructions, as was done in this case,' it is not necessary to instruct upon each separate Item of evidence, nor to direct the Jury to determine between the different theories of the State and the accused. The tenth instruction given by the court was as follows: 'The defendant Insists that th killing of Western 11. Thomas was done in self-defense and this requires the court to Instruct you a3 to the doctrine of self-defense. One man may kill another under such circumstances as that the homloide constitutes no crime, but Is Justified by the law. The doctrine of self-defense as applied by the evidence in this case may be thus defined: Where a person being without fault and is in a place where he has a right to be, so far as his assailant Is concerned, is violently assaulted, he may, without retreating, repel force by force, and he need not believe that his safety requires him to kill his adversary in oraer to give him rlghi to make use of force for that purpose. When from the acts of his assailant he believes and has reasonable ground to believe that he Is In danger of losing his life or receiving great bodily harm from his adversary the ' right to defend himself from such danger or apprehended danger may be exercised by him. and he may use It to any extent which is reasonably necessary, and if his assailant is killed as a result from' tho reasonable defense of himself he Is excusable. The question of the existence of such danger, the necessity or apparent necessity, as well as the amount of force necessary to employ to resists the attack can only be determined from the standpolnt of the defendant at the .time and under all the existing circumstances. Ordinarily, one exercising tn. right of self-defense is required to act upon the Instant and without time to deliberate and Investigate, and under such circumstances the danger which exists only, in- appearance is as real and Imminent as if it were actual.' "With this instruction, so full and complete on the law of-self-defense' and bo favorable to the appellant, and with others on the subject of reasonable doubt and ot the presumption of innocence, with still another on self-defense as an excuse for killing an adversary, we cannot see that the appellant suffered any harm by the refusa of the court to give instruction twentythree, as requested, . .... "It is contended that the verdict is not supported by tne evidence. The verdict wa r. mntinihir ThArn is rn nuestlon that

the deceased was unarmed and that the , appellant cut his throat wun a Kmie, . ing death io, a few moments, vv e think that from the evidence of those present, t-ven from that of the appellant himself, the Jury might conclude, without any reasonable doubt, that the appellant unlawfully killed the deceased, voluntarily and upon a sudden heat, and that he had not the excuse of self-defense for his act. It is Uncertain from the evidence whether the deceased simply laid his hand upon appellan' In a sort of maudlin familiarity, or whethehe struck at appellant with his fist afte' they began quarreling. It la certain, however, that the deceased was unarmed, and. at most, that in their scuffle he struck appellant with his fist. Rut, as a general rule, the law will not excuse one who repels e blow with the fist by ttabbing his assal'.ant. (Presser vs. State, 77 Ind., 274; Floyd vs. State, 91 Am. Dec, 766 ; 21 Am. and Eng Enc. Law, IO.) And the Jury might we;; find frcm the evidence that there were no circumstances why the case at bar shoulc form an exception to this general rule. "A like contention is made as to whether two of the Jury had not expressed cplnion? as to the merits of the case before they were selected to try It. The court tried th question by bringing together the two Jurors and the witnesses who had filed affidavits against them: and all were questioned under oath, when the court found :hat the charge was not sustained. There being evidence to support this decision, wf cannot, under the well-established rule, disturb it on this appeal. "There appearing no available error In the proceedings, the Judgment Is affirmed." Grand Jury Report. The grand Jury yesterday made a final report, recommending the" discharge of Julia Carsell, accused of mixing poison in the coffee of Charle3 Warfield; also of Frank McCarty, accused of receiving stole r. goods. The Jury examined 137 witnesses, discharged five cases and returned twentynine indictments. The, grand Jury commends the condition of the poorhouse, county Jail and county workhouse. It recommends that more beds be purchased for the workhouse. Indictments returned and allowed to be made public are as follows: Alonzo Rooker, murder and assault and battery with intent to murder: George Gray, em bezzlement; Robert Williams and Jamej Sanderson, arson; George Bernard, burglary; James Solenburg, grand- larceny; Isaac Reynolds, Robert Parker, Edward Milburn. burglary; Albert Hunter, issuing forged check; Frank Smock, petit larceny; Frank Smock, grand larceny.. Smith Gets Six Years. Charles Smith, the colored man Indicted In connection with Dewlt Nay, who was found guilty and sentenced to fourteen years in: the penitentiary, yesterday had his sentence reduced to six years by Judge McCray. The court first granted the motion for a new trial and then the defendant entered a plea of guilty. THE COIHT RECORD. Supreme Court. 17208. E. & T. H. Railway Company vsTohill. Sullivan C. C.
