““The jury were instructed that if they believed from the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that defendant struck and killed deceased with a deadly weapon, with intent to rob him, they would find him guilty of murder in the first degree. In such circumstances, the killing was murder in the first degree, whether done deliberately or otherwise.””
