JUDGE HARDING'S CHARGE
Tctls Jury in Brooks Case at Hen-
Jcrsuuvilte It Cannot Consider
“I’nwrJttcn I .aw.”
The following is the charge of
Judge W. F. Harding in file’
Brooks murder case at Henderson
ville :
“Gentlemen of the jury, the de
fendants Bonnie Brooks, is on trial
charged in the hill of indictment
with murder.” Judge Hardin* be
gan. "The State of North Carolina
has divided homicide into tour de
grees, murder in the fir-i degree,
murder in the second man
slaughter. and justifiable homicide.
Y’ottr verdict enn be any one of- the
four.
“Murder in the first degree is the
killing of a human lx* ing by an
other human being with malice, (ire
meditation and deliberation. Mur
■ *der in the second degree in the un
‘ lawful kil ing of one Lumah being
1 by another human being with
malice, huct without premeditation
1 and deliberation. Manslaughter is
i the unlawful killing of one hitman
. being by another human being with
[ out malice and without premedita
tion aud without deliberation.
“Ordinarily the burden is upon
' the state to satisfy the jury by the
1 evidence beyond a reasonable doubt
I that the defendant kil ed the de
ceased with a deadly weapon. In. this
ease the defendant has admitted the
killing. The killing with a deadly
Weapon raisew a pesumption of
, malice. The burden, however, is
upon the state to show by tlie evi
dence beyond a reasonable doubt that
the defendant killed tlie deoen >d
with premeditation and deliberation.
"Malice is presumed by the use of
the deadly weapon and the killing and
has been defined by the Supreme
Court of this state to be the omng
of an unlawful thing without a
justifiable ground for so doing.
"Premeditation and deliberation is
where ouo thinks beforehand aud
weighs the purpose to Mill long t
enough to form a fixed design to
kill and if after forming tlie purpose
and fixing the design and in pur
suance of that fixed design and pur
pose shoots and kills—that is pre
meditation and deliberation.
Burden on State.
"So the burden is upoq the state
to satisfy you by the evidence in
this case beyond a reasonable doubt,
that the defendant before he killed
the deceased fixed and formed in his
mind the purpose and design to Sill
tlie deceased and in pursuance of
that fixed and formed purpose or
deign he shot and killed the de- |
ceased. If the state has satisfied you
of that, then the court charges' you '
that it would he wour duty to con
vict the defendant of inutder in the
first degree. *
"Reasonable doubt does not mean
nil possible doubt—it means that
doubt which would bo raised In the
mind of a man normally posses-od
of his reasonable faculties, iu the 1
normal exercise of such roasonub'e
faculties in considering all evidence ’
in this case and the rules of law ap- |
plieafcle to the ease, as to the guilt 1
of the defendant. . ft
"In this case the defendant hd- *
mils he killed the deceases! with l a
pistol. Tin* court charges you that
the jfistol with which the defendant
admits that he shot and killed the
deceased is a tlead’y weapon. The ]
law presumes the killing with a
deadly weapon was . unlawful and
that it was dene with ma»y.*e. Noth
ing else appearing that would be
murder in the'second degree and it '
would be your duty to convict the
defendant of murder in the second i
degri'e. >
"The presumption of malice in
killing with a deadly weapon shifts
the burden in this case to tlie de
fendant to show by the evidence
such, mitigating circumstances as
would reduce the ki’ling to man
slaughter or to justifiable homicide.”
Touching upon self-defense fine
of the pleas set up by the couneel
for the defense, Judge Harding said :
Defense Justified.
“One may fight and kill if at the
moment of killing the efeudunt has
reasonable grounds for believing in
good faith that he was about to be
killed by the deceased, or was about
to receive some groat bodily harm
at the hands of the deceased, then
the defendant had the right to use
such force as appeared to him to be
reasotmb’y necessary to prevent the
killing or to protect himself from
great bodily harm about to he in
flicted by the deceased." j
The pirn of insanity was also in
troduced by the defense in an .ef
fort to free the slayer of Sam Bry
son for his act. In that Aspect the
court said:
"The burden is on the defendant
to show that the defendant did not
have sufficient mental capacity to
distinguish between right and wrong
in killing deceased.”
After completing his instructions
in regard to the general issues of
law that apply in the case of every
homicide. Judge • Harding read a
lengthy document prepared by at
torneys for the defene for presenta
tion to the jury in which were out
lined in groat detail the oontenrionfc
of the defense iu the trial and the
, events that surounded and led up
to the homicide.
The contentions and instruction*
on the law asked by the counsel for
the prisoner was 15 pages in length
and gave an exhaustive survey of
what the defense had been at- 1
tempting to* prove with its plea*
of self-defense and insanity. After
reading this document Judge Hard
ing referred to some of the issues that
’ have arisen dnring the handling of*
* the trial and touched particularly up
on the reference* to the unwrifßH
law.
No I’nvMtten Law. I
t "Any former trouble between Bon-j
■ nip Brooks and the deceased did not
* justify the killing” the jurist de-
I I elated with emphasis. "The de- 1
. I feiMant did riot have the right to
| kill the deceased because he found
I him in bed with the defendants wife.
' What hsa been "referred to several
• i times in this trial as the "unwritten
1 law" does not exist in the State of
“ North Carolina. There is no touch
• thing as a higher law.' Upon the
5 constitution of the State of North
- Carolina and upon the 1 legislative
» enactments of efingross and the
! general assembly ate baaed the, law*

II VMI.IN GARLAND'S
EXCITING PICTURE
“The Ranger of the Big Pines" a
Photoplay es the Real West.
By the Press Agent.
In a drama of tfie West there is a
certain thrill somehow lacking in pic
ture productions with eastern back
grounds. Borne of the majestic beau
ty of the Rocky mountains.' In tlie
rugged strength of the men and wom
en of the West, adds considerably to*
the enjoyment of "The Ranger of the,
Big Pines." the Vitagrapb picture
which opened yesterday at the Con
cord Theatre.
This pieturization of Hamlin Gor-I
land’s well known novel. “Cavanaugh.
Forest Ranger.” lias Kenneth Harlan
in the featured role of Ross Cavan
ijgh, a handsome ranger in the woods
of the West; Helene Costello plays
the leading feminine role of Lee Vir-1
ginia Weatherford, the lovely flower
of a corrupt stock, and acquits her- j
self with genuine ability in her first'
big cliaraeterixntiton. Eulnlie Jensen,
always to be depended upon for excel
lent acting, gives a perfect perform
ance in the role of her slatternly
mother, who has run to seed. Others
in this uniformly good cast are Will
Availing, Lew Harvey, Robert J.
Graves. Eugene Paulette, Harvey
Clark and Joan Standing.
William Van Dyke, directed “Tlie!
Ranged of iho Rig Pines" with a keen
eye upon its’dramatic moments from
the scenario of Hope lairing and Louis
Lightnn. Nome of the original flavor
of this virile and stirring story has
been lost in the screen version, and
he beautiful photography by Allan
Thompson is still another reason why
you are certain to enjoy “The Ranger
if the Big Pines.”
