Syllabus

<p>1. In trespass for conspiracy to defraud, the testimony submitted indicating fraud on the part of one of the defendants, in the matters alleged, and conduct on the part of the others that in fact tended to aid in its accomplishment, the question of intent involved was for the jury, and it was error to direct a verdict for the defendants.</p> <p>2. Discrepancies in the testimony, and matters of fact in evidence difficult of credence, complicated but did not destroy the plaintiff’s case. Whether the testimony was truthful, and whether the fraudulent advantage to one of the defendants was intentionally aided by the conduct of the others, were questions for the jury.</p>
