e covers four and a
half, columns ; its general tone is reerarded
as unfavorable to the prisoner.- The follow
ing is the summing up : ; " f Y ri Y: L ! i
rom the Observations Twhich -I have A-,
dressed to yqu yi?u wilU infer 'first, that a
conspiracy formed in time ot war to take
the ilife of the President and Vice President
of tneepublic and the he.ads,of the execu
tive departments for the purpose of aiding
the enemies of : the Federal government, by
throwing it into anarchy -! and confusion, is
treason as heinous and hurtful ,tp the people,
.of the country as the compassing the death
of the King 4or Queen of ' Great Britain is to
the subjects of that r,ealm. Y ' I v
Second, That every person Y engaged in
such copspiracy, as long; as he continues a
member of it, is responsible hot only for; the
act of treason, but for any murder or 'less
crimes which may flow from it. ; ; 1 :
I Third, That. the Government may , waive
the charge of treason against; any or all the
conspirators, and proceed against them; for
the smaller crime of murder, included in the
greater crime of treason. 1 v Y:Y ' !; : .
! Fourth, ;That under an indictment for a
murder resulting from the prosecution ; of
such conspiracy, evidence of the entire scope
mating the heinous character of the offense
laid in the indictment S Y -; YHi -
1 j Fifth, That .it' was not necessary to aver
id the indictment the , fact, that Abraham
Lincoln, the victim of the murder, was at
the time of its commission President 5of the
United States, Dr to prove it in order to .al
low the jury, to take that fact, into the ac
count in determining the heinous .character
of the crime, it being a fa6t of which courts
wilt take judicial cognizance, t k j'
. ; Sixth, That he who does ari actby.anojth
er, ddes it by himself, and is responsible for
its consequences in criminal, as well as civil
casep. --:-- . ? f -j
Seventh,'.That! although ari ; alibi 'when
cleanly established forms complete- and un
answerable defense ; the mere, i absence )ni
tlie Immediate -cene of a crime resulting
from a conspiracy, unrcpeated ' ot md; lin
abarf loned by the party charged, it will pot
avail him if he were at some' other place a:
signed him, performing his part in the CO
spiracy. , ' ' Y a ' :4- ' - ' 'I
Eighth, That this plea is, unless clearly
made out, regarded with suspicion, and a
circumstance weighing.againsl him who at
tempts ii,juecau iijiiipiies au auuisaiuu ui
the truth, of the facts alleged ' against himr
aadYtie, correctness of the inference drawn
fromthem.0'1 -"iC- -f-p, I, .
Ninth, That flight ' from the Scene of
crime,? the fabrication -: of false accounts, the
concealment of instruments of violence, are
circumstances indicating guilt. Y 1
Tenth, Altuouen a confession in
the !
irmade freely and voluntarily is one of the
suresrooints of guilt. 1 v s Y
