   presumptive evidence law, that which is derived from
      circumstances which necessarily or usually attend a fact,
      as distinct from direct evidence or positive proof;
      indirect or circumstantial evidence. "presumptive evidence
      of felony should be cautiously admitted." --blackstone.
      the distinction, however, between direct and presumptive
      or circumstantial evidence is now generally abandoned;
      all evidence being now more or less direct and more or
      less presumptive.
