onable doubt, of the guilt of the
defendants, then it is your duty to acquit them.

"It is the duty of the jury to examine the evidence on both sides
of the case without any feeling of resentment or revenge, and if,
after such examination, you entertain any reasonable doubt as to
whether the deceased was murdered by the defendants as charged in
the indictment, or by somebody else, you should acquit the
defendants; in other words, if the evidence, after an impartial
consideration, leaves your mind in a state of reasonable doubt as
to whether any particular defendant is guilty, as charged in the
indictment, then such defendant should be acquitted.

"If the evidence in this case fails to show any motive on the part
of the defendant to commit the crime charged against him, then this
is a circumstance in favor of his innocence, which the jury ought
to consider in connection with all the other evidence in the case
in arriving at a verdict.

"An individual juror ought not to compromise any well-founded doubt
of guilt that he may entertain respecting the defendants or any of
them with his fellow-jurors. The jury can agree only to convict or
acquit, and you can only properly convict when the guilt of the
defendants is so fully and clearly proven to the mind of each
individual juror, as to exclude every reasonable doubt of guilt.

"A reasonable doubt is that state of the case which, after the
entire comparison and consideration of all the evidence in the case
leaves the jurors in that condition that they can not say they have
an abiding conviction, to a moral certainty, of the truth of the
charge. It is not sufficient to establish a probability, though a
strong one, that the fact is more likely to be true than the
contrary, but the evidence must establish the truth of the fact to
a reasonable and moral certainty; a certainty that convinces and
directs the understanding and satisfies the reason and judgment of
the juror who is bound to act upon it conscientiously.

"In considering the case, however, the jury are not to go beyond
the evidence to hunt up doubts, nor must they entertain such doubts
as are merely chimerical or conjectured. A doubt to justify an
acquittal must be reasonable, and it must arise from candid and
impartial investigation of all
