        the imputation of guilt. To murder is to kill with
        malicious forethought and intention. To assassinate is
        tomurder suddenly and by stealth. The sheriff may kill
        without murdering; the duelist murders, but does not
        assassinate his antagonist; the assassin kills and
        murders.
