A wilful killing is an intended killing. Both the words \u201cdeliberation\u201d and \u201cpremeditation\u201d involve a prior purpose to do the act in question. And it is impossible to conceive of a murder committed with a \u201cfelonious intent\u201d that is not wilful. State v. Townsend, 24 N. W. Rep. 535; Leonard v. Territory, 7 Pac. Rep. 872, and authorities cited; State v. Shelton, 64 Iowa, 333; State v. Stackhouse, 24 Kas. 445; 1 Wharton, Cr. Law, sec. 380.
