investigation followed and an indictment was found against tho those seal alleged conspirators the indictment might be said to have five features first historical second describing the conspiracy third the means fourth overt acts and fifth partition of tho tile money al part was well known As to the means used to carry on the tile conspiracy tho the jury need not trouble themselves about that whether or not they were sufficiently described in the indictment was not for them to consider the ili vision of the money depended upon tho the question of tile existence of conspiracy and that was really tho only consi consideration ia oration for the jury whether there was a conspiracy fal followed by the commission of an all overt act the false papers and petitions acro the meana means used and it never had been held field that the government was wits required accurately to describe the means whether the parties were mutually interested in ne the several contracts was ot of no consequence their interest in the conspiracy must be considered the part parties les were according to the indictment individual owners of tile contracts and mutually interested only in the conspiracy any overt act I under inder any one of the contracts was an overt act under au of them referring to the prayers judge wylie said the conspirators were jointly united for one purpose and several for others cathers each man stood on his bis own defense the J jury u ry could not convict on ono man of conspiracy but they could convict any two of the tile defendants if there had been only one ono overt act committed and the jury acquitted the party committing it tile defendants must all bo be acquitted brady had been called the key the master key to th alio e whole conspiracy and if no overt acts were shown to havo have been committed by beany any other defendant then they roust must all be acquitted I tile position taken by the defense that all he lie defendants must bo be shown to have been interested in all the contracts was false if it had been shown that they were crimin criminally illy interested in only one that NY was rient and conspiracy was established the surplusage in the indictment could not vitiate it this indictment charged but ono offense one conspiracy it could not comprise two conspiracies part of the tho defendants wal might glit bo be wholly ao no quitted bitted and part convicted but if the tile tu jury alry found two conspiracies three of the parties guilty of one and the tile remaining four guilty of or another then the indictment failed so much for the frame of indictment now as to tho proof proofs a conspiracy is seldom reduced to writing conspiracies spi are generally entered into in a ye very ry informal way the parties might reside in different parts of the country but if by any means even by dumb dumb show they entered into an agreement to defraud the government followed by an overt act that was conspiracy tholan tho law required a verdict of guilty only when the jury entertained no reasonable doubt of the guilt of lie tile defendants the doubt to be reasonable must bo be based upon evidence not upon a mere inere conjecture he ile would now talk upon the routes and see if it could bo connected with any rational theory of innocence ifft if it could the defendants were entitled to the benefit of that theory he lie would
