““It has been repeatedly held that, in a trial for murder, the jury, fin determining whether there was that ‘willful, deliberate, and premeditated killing’ which constitutes murder in the first degree, may consider the fact that the accused at the time of the homicide was intoxicated. . . . “In determining whether or not the killing was so willful, deliberate, and premeditated as to constitute murder in the first degree, it is proper for the jury to consider how much his mental condition at the time was affected by intoxication; and, there being an express statutory declaration upon the subject of intoxication, a defendant in a murder case is entitled to have an instruction embracing such statutory declaration .given by the court to the jury, where there is' evidence which makes it applicable.””
