widenee that the parties charged in

therance of the common design and
then you may find that there was a
tacit understanding, and so far as the
conspiracy is concerned, that is stilli-
drill to constitute the offense. 'i‘here

He said tlta. such an offense rarely,
if ever, is proven by direct testimony.

be influenced by prejudice or be moved
by sympathy. "You should give these
defendants a fair and impartial trial,"
he said. "according to the evidence as

After being out forty minutes, the
jury sent what Justice Pritchard char.

unusual request. They desired the ac

note for 25,000, all drafts. checks, war-
rants and statements of each of the

said to comply with the request in its

said it was not customary to send evt
