## Opinion text

West, J.
Concurring.
The instruction upon the subject of “reasonable doubt” given in this case has been in general use in some, if not all, of the trial courts of this State for many years. It is not, in my judgment, rightly subject to the criticism contained in the opinion. Its object is to clarify an expression not susceptible of precise definition. Its tendency seems to me to be helpful. It cannot be said to be harmful. Otherwise I concur.
