THE OWIECT of tho question was to prove that Leavenworth Liad told Mogrue ho had deliverod to BlcKee tho packagos of monoy Megruo had sob -apart and fnstructed Lomvonworth to give McKos. Tha dofonse objocted, on tho ground that Leavenworth, being dead, could not sppear to deny or corroborate, andbecauss tho ovidence waa hearsay and incompetont, bolog the doclara- ton of ona conaplrator to suothor, not mads in ‘pursuanco of tho object of conspiracy.
