Evidence — Declarations.
The declarations of an alleged conspirator, made in the absence of his coconspirators after the transaction, are not competent evidence against any one except the party making such declarations.
READE, J.
The declarations of one of the alleged conspirators, made in the absence of the others, after the transaction was over, (211) introduced by the State to prove the conspiracy, were clearly incompetent against any one except himself. There is error.
