““ ‘A “presumption” and an “inference” are not the same thing. A “presumption” being a deduction which the law requires a trier to make; an “inference” is a deduction which the trier may or may not make according to his own conclusions. A presumption is mandatory; an inference permissible.’ Cross v. Passumpsic Fiber Leather Co., 90 Vt. 397 , 98 A. 1010, 1014 . “See also State v. Godlasky, 47 S.D. 36 , 195 N.W. 832, 833 , in which it is held that a ‘presumption is compulsory and cannot be disregarded by the jury.’ ””

State“"THE COURT: All right, gentlemen this precautionary charge which will be given to you at the end of the case. Accusations or statements tending to show a defendant's guilt have been proven in this case and shown to have been made in the presence of that defendant, heard and understood by him, and undenied by said defendant, and you find that the situation of the parties demanded a denial, this fact should be considered by the jury in the light of all the other facts and circumstances in the case. But such evidence is of a dangerous character and must be received with great precaution. All right, sir, you can proceed."”
