should have sued as administrator, instead of merely denominating
himself the administrator of deceased, and also that he failed to show
bis official character by a proper profert of his letters of administra.
tion, cannot be raised for the first time in the appellate court, but
should be taken advantage of by way of motion in the lower courte

Texarkana Gas etc. Co. v. Orr, 30.
4 AMENDMENT TO CONFORM TO PROOF.-If an action by an administrator

for the death of his intestate, caused by negligence, is erroneously
brought for the benefit of the estate, instead of for the widow and next
of kin, the appellate court must, in the absence of demurrer, treat tho
case as it was treated by the parties in the court below, as being a
claim by the administrator for injury to the deceased in his lifetime,
and consider the complaint as amended to correspond with the proof.

Texarkana Gas etc. Co. v. Orr, 30.
4 JURY, TRIAL-ERRONEOUS CONDUCT OF COUNSEL IN ARGUMENT.-Lan.

guage used by counsel which evinces a studied purpose to arouse the

ARREST.
I PROBABLE CAUSE POR Exists if there is such a state of facts u would

load a man of ordinary care and prudence to believe, or entertain an
honest and strong suspicion, that the person about to be arrested in
guilty of the offense charged. People v. Kilvington, 73.

. PROBABLE CAUSE FOR-SUBMISSION OF FactTO JURY.-In the event of

conflicting evidence as to the facts of an arrest, it is the duty of the
court to instruct the jury what facts, if established, will constitute
probable cause, and submit to them only the question as to such facts.
People v.

Kilvington, 73.
& PROBABLE Cause-QUESTION OF Law. If a police officer, intending to

arrest a person, kills him the question whether he had probable cause
to believe, or reasonable grounds for suspicion, that the deceased bad
committed a felony, is one of law for the court, where the facts are

undisputed. People v. Kılvington, 73.
4 A PEACE OFFICER HAS THE Right, without a warrant, to arrest any per.

son in the night, when he has reasonable ground to believe that such

person has committed a felony. People v. Kilvington, 73.
6. ARREST OF Fleeing Person-Evidence. If a police officer not recog.

nizing a fleeing person, and not knowing any thing about his business,
shoots him while attempting to effect an arrest, evidence tending to
show that the deceased went on the particular night to the place near
where he was shot on lawful business is irrelevant and inadmissible.
People v. Kilvington, 73.
ARREST OF Fleeing Person CHARGED WITH TheFr.-The circumstance
that a person is fleeing at night from one who is shouting “stop thief"!
affords a police officer as much reason to suspect or believe that he may
have committed robbery, or burglary, or grand larceny, as that he may
have merely committed petit larceny, and justifies an attempt to an

rest. People v. Kilvinglon, 73.
7. ARREST OF FLEEING PersON - SHOOTING - CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.

Whether the act of a police afficer in shooting a fleeing person at night
in atteinpting to effect his arrest is or is not an act of criminal negli-
gence is a question for the jury, who must give the officer, upon the
trial of an information for murder, the benefit of any reasonable doubt
arising upon the evidence. People v. Kilvinglon, 73.
