Is a trial of impeachment held with or without a jury? How about treaties? And murder?

Forget about the treaties part.
An impeachment trial is held by the legislature -- therefore without a jury. However, the legislators could be considered a jury of the president's peers.

I believe that murder trials must have a jury.
