COMPILED FROM THE CODES OR REVISED STATUTES OF THE WITHIN the limits of the subjolned table showing the penaltles prescribed by the respective States for the offences enumerated it is impossible to attain complete accuracy in comparing the several penalties, for the reason that the provisions of the several States defining these very familiar crimes are not identical. Especlally is this true in regard to crimes classified in degrees, some States making but little attempt In that direction, leaving It to the discretion of the trial court to adapt the severity of the punishment to the gravity of the offence, while other States provide a minute classification Into degrees, depending on the several possible circumstances attending the commission of the crime. Murder in the First Degree in the table below-may be generally defined to be the unlawful intentional and premeditated killing of a human being, or such a kulung resulting from the commission or attempt to commit one of the graver crimes such as arson, burglary, rape or robbery. Murder In the Second Degree is such a killing without premeditation, or resulting from the attempt to commit some lesser crime. Manslaughter may be defined as a killing elther unintentionally resulting from the careless or unlawful doing of some otherwise lawful act or from the commission of some unlawful act of comparatively trivial character, or intentionally, in the heat of passion and without premeditation. Arson---where classified in degrees--though the number and exact definition of degrees varies greatly-is in general classified with reference to two conditions. First, the character of the bullding burned, whether a dwelling house or structure likely to or containing a human being; and, second, whether the crime is perpetrated by day or night. Thus the most serious offence is the burning of en Inhabited dwelling by night, and the least serious, the burning of an uninhabited structure by day. Often intermediate degrees are recognized, sucb as burning a dwelling by day or an uninhabited building by night. Burglary-The classification of burglary or house breaking depends on substantially the same Murder, Manslaughter. Assault with Robbery. 1 Alabama.

Robbery may be generally defined as the theft of property from the person or immediale presence of the victim, accomplished by force or fear. Where degrees of robbery are recognized, the distinction is generally determined by whether the thief be armed or unarmed, though some States also distinguish the second from the first degree, where the theft is accomplished by means of threats of future rather than immediate injury, Grand Larcony is simple thert, of property above a fixed value, generally $25 to $50-most States also classify as grand larceny theft of property from the person of the victim irrespective of value, though of course, accomplished without the force or fear which constitute the crime of robbery. Assault with intent to kill, bigamy, forgery, perjury and rape, are not subdivided into degrees in the subjoined table. Where crimes are divided into several degrees It is generally within the province of the jury in convicung, to fix the degree of the crime, and in almost every case in which a crime is punishable by death or imprisonment, it is the province of the jury to determine the punishment, except upon å plea of guilty, when the duty devolveg upon the Court. Where the classification of a crime in a particular State does not approximately agree with the definitions given above, note is made of the fact. The District of Columbia has no distinct penal code, but in genera! the provisions glven in the table for Alaska woull apply. NOTE - In the table below, after the agures glven, "years". 18 understood, unless otherwise stated. Where two figures are given, separated by a dash, as 1-7, the provision should be understood as "not less than one year nor more than seven," where a sum of money is given in the table the provision should be understood as meaning a One of not exceeding the sum mentioned.
