OF CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS-TREASON-MURDER-DU ELS-MANSLAUGHTER- MAIMING-ROBBERY-MALICIOUS Persons accused of crime have the right to counsel and witnesses in open Court. An acquittal, on a trial of the facts, is a bar to further prosecutions for the same offence. Treason against the State, that is, levying war against it, or adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort, is the highest crime known to our laws, and is punishable by death. Murder in the first degree, that is, the deliberate and premeditated killing of a human being without cause, or the killing of a person while attempting to perpetrate any crime, rape, robbery, or burglary, subjects the offender to imprisonment for life in the State Prison. Murder in the second degree, that is, where the act of killing is done intentionally but without that premeditation and deliberation which distinguish murder in the first degree, is punishable by imprisonment in the State Prison for life, or any number of years, in the discretion of the Court. Fighting a duel, if death ensue, is murder in the first degree. Fighting a duel, although neither party be killed, or offering to fight one, subjects the offender to imprisonment in the State Prison not exceeding ten years, or by fine not exceeding one thousand dollars and imprisonment in the County jail not more than three years, and deprives the offender of the right to hold any office under the laws of this State. The penalties of the law against dueling apply to seconds as well as principals. Indeed, all who in any way encourage the fighting of a duel are subject to heavy penalties. The crime of manslaughter, which consists in the killing of a human being, while under the influence of sudden provocation, or from heating of the blood, or stirring the passions to such an extent as to exclude the idea of malice, is punishable by imprisonment in the State Prison, not more than fifteen years, or by fine not exceeding one thousand dollars. Maiming or disfiguring, or attempting to maim or disfigure another, with malicious intent, or aiding in the commission of the offence, is punishable by imprisonment in the State Prison, not more than ten years, or by fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or both. at the discretion of the Court. If a person robs another, such robber being armed with a dangerous weapon, with intent, if resisted, to kill or maim the person robbed. or if, being so armed, he shall wound or strike the person robbed, he shall be punished in the State Prison for life, or any number of years. If the robber be not armed, the punishment cannot exceed fifteen years imprisonment. If any person shall maliciously threaten to accuse another of any crime or offence, or to injure the person or property of another, with intent thereby to extort money or any pecuniary advantage, or with intent to compel the person so threatened to do any act against his will, he shall be punished by imprisonment in the State Prison, or in the County Jail, not exceeding two years, or by fine not exceeding one thousand dollars.
