court then commenced his hi ini to the jury judge gary began begaii his instructions to the jury at 2 he said that whoever is guilty of murder shall suffer the punishment of death or imprisonment of no less than fourteen 1 I years that as a matter of law the jury need not go behind the evidence to hunt bunt doubts and that doubts to justify an acquittal must be reasonable that as a matter of law an accessory is he who stands by aids abets or assists or who not being present aiding abetting or assisting hath advised aided encouraged or abetted the perpetration of a crime that he who thus aids abets assists advise sor encourages shall be considered as principal and punished accordingly if the defendants attempted to overthrow law by force and threw the bomb then the defendants who were in the conspiracy were guilty of murder if there was an anarchist conspiracy and the defendants were parties to it they were guilty of murder though tho the date of the culmination of the conspiracy was not fixed it if any of the defendants conspired to excite by advice the people to riot and murder such defendants fend ants are guilty if such murder was done in pursuance of sad conspiracy spi sp
