Syllabus
<p>Evidence — Admissibility—Declabations os Agent. A letter purporting to be signed by the agent of a mill company denying liability for an accident on its logging road is not admissible to prove the company’s ownership of the road, since the declarations of an agent made after the transaction cannot bind the principal when not so related as to constitute part of the res gestae.</p>
