such defendant conspired with any person other
than those named in the Indictment, although
they should dod the other defendants named
not guilty of the alleged conspiracy, provided
any, between any one OF the defendants and
other persons not named existed and acts were
done to carry it into effect within three years
next before this indictment was found.
Now, it is claimed on the part of the prosecu-
ton that the alleged conspiracy was originally
formed by and between the defendant Mueller
and 4. B. b1ulett at d period anterior to the
statute OF limitatons-that is, prior to NOV. p
1875; aud it is claimed that that conspiracy
continued throughout large part OF
and that the other defendants, or some
Of them, became parties thereto by aiding and
abe.ting the same. And it is further coutended
that if the alleged conspiracy only embraced
Mullett and the defendant Mueller, and wos
originally formed So as to be Il completed cen
spiracy, at time prior to the statute, and if
within the statutory provision Mueller did any
act to carry into effect the original agreement,
that that WAS renewal OF the original coll
spiracy; and that If such state OF facts is
ed, though the other defendants should be ac-
Quilted. This is the claim on the part of the
- -;
Upon this question say to rou. that II the con-
spiracy which was charged in this 1ndictmentwas
formed between Mueller and Mul1ett at q time
prior to Nov. e. 1875, and If that identical con-
spiracv was continued in force by the united
action Of those parties down to q time within
the statute OF limitations, aud II. within that
tiue, Mueller did one or more OF the overt acts |
charged in the Indictment to carry such con- !!
su,racy into effect, then and In such case the de-
[endant Mueller could be convicted, although J
none Ut the other defendants named should 10 ]
be parties to the alleged conspiracy.
But to do SO, you should be clearly satisfied /
hat the yery conspiracy which Is here charged |
YES actually formed BY and between Mueller
and hlul1ett at the time claimed and that 1t was
~ them continued, as such conspiracy, to |
period within the statute, and then that within |
hat time one or the other OF them did some
me or more Of the acts '':: .

. carry the conspiracy into effect. And leave
to the jury to say whether If there was con-
piracy between Mueller and Mullett before the
tatute. such acts were done BY them as con- |
anued it In operation until after the statute.
Proof Of conspiracy before the statute, other
no ol1erent IRON that which is here charged, ]
gonld not bs proof OF the conspiracy which is
lleged: The identical conspiracy which is
harGed must be proven, namely: a conspiracy !

IT WAS UND1SFUTED
na1 ~ authorized by the contract, the Govern
ment designated Chicago IS the place where the
cutting should be done, and Mueller invested in
property knoHn as the Twelfth street yards,
!hefe the cutting Was chiefly done. The Court
1aen passed On to consider the saving and haul
ne contracts. Ali these facts were indIsputed.
w teese facts the Government claimed: -
1>se-fhat Mueller was not entitled to pay
ment for the hatf-inch mentioned in the
oinension-stoue contract; that, nevertheless, he
IN 1act obtained payment for the halfinch in
aod't1on to the net size, md that such payment
was secured by means OF the alleged criminal
cooperation Of tue other defendants; and,
1atther, that, bY means Of the alleged con-
sp1facy, Mueller obtained payment On account
VI o.mehs'on stone OF the reserved percentage
apeaaed IN tile dimension stone contract.
oecond-Ihat the stone furnished By Mueller
= vas not OF the character and quality required

qoalssg to be obtained from the Bueua Vista

N4s lutt Of spots, staios. and, disco1oring:

together to obtain payment for this stone as
ana a. 1or such stone as Mueller Was required by
as contract to furnish.

Remembering that the question is, Did the de-
PENDANTS, actpated b., criminal intent, enter into
q conspiracy for the purpose and in the manner
charged! you viii couscienttously, and IN the
spirit Of justice aud fidelity to honest conYic-
tion, proceed in the consideration and seek to
reach just discrimination Of the question.
IF TIE EVIDENCE coNv1NcEs you
beyond reasonable doubt that the defendants,
or any OF them, are guilty as charged, then YOU
should so find. If, On the contrary, the alleged
offense ID not SO proven, then the Government
cannot rightfully ask 1 conviction, and it would
be your duty to render verdict If acquitta!
From what have said. you, OF course, under
stand that, as you find the 1act to be, you may
find alt the defendants guilty, or one or more
guilty, and one OF more not guilty, or that none
are guilty.
The form Of your verdict will be, II you find
all Of the defendants guilty, We find the de-

Having thus instructed the eleven arbiters,
the Court told them they might retire IN charge

Justice, they were led upstairs and locked in
the very room in which for several weeks last
