Syllabus

<p>Evidence — Previous ex parte declarations of witness — Recent fabrication of testimony.</p> <p>Evidence of the previous ex parte declarations of a witness consonant with his testimony is not admissible. One of the exceptions to this general rule is that such evidence may be given in contradiction of evidence tending to show that the witnesses testimony is a fabrication of recent date; but a mere conflict of testimony as to recent fabrication is not a sufficient reason for the admission of a witness’s prior unsworn statements.</p>
