Syllabus

<p>Conspiracy — Evidence—Concerted action — Declarations.</p> <p>In an action based on an alleged conspiracy of the defendants to charge the plaintiff with having written an anonymous letter containing charges of dishonesty and embezzlement, a verdict for plaintiff cannot be sustained where there is nothing in the record to show any concerted action among the defendants, or any combination with others, nor individual action on the part of any of them to injure the plaintiff.</p> <p>While the declarations of conspirators are evidence against the others, they are so only after the fact of conspiracy has been proved, and during the time it continues, but if made after the conspiracy has been dissolved, they are not evidence.</p>
