dicted for unlawfully carrying a
pistol on his person of December
17th, 1908. Tried before Juflse
Pink L. Parrish and a jury, July
26th, 1909, at Emma, Texas.

on behalf-of-the State, and J. W.

Emma and Cone, in Crosby coun-
ty, Texas. The attprney for the
forth in the indictment.
gued that under the law
state there were certain excep-
tions which made it lawful for a
person to carry a pistol, and so
long as the defendant . is pre-
sumed to be innocent until he is
proven guilty beyond all reason-
able doubt, he should be acquit-
ted without being required to
submit his defense-to the Jury,
because the presumption should
be that he was carrying the pistol
under one of these exceptions.
This motion was sharply con-
tested by the prosecution attorney
and the judge finally ruled that
it would be difficult, if not impos-
sible, for the state to negative
ev^ry one of the exceptions is its
proof, and that he would there-
fore refuse to instruct the jury
to find the defendant not guilty
at that time. Attorney Burton
took exception tp this ruling, and
proceeded to put in the defense.
Mr. Williams and brother took
tne stand and tegtifiied that at
the time the witnesses saw the
defendant with the pistol he was
on his way to New Mexico; that
he had talked of going awav
from Emma "for several days,
