guilty as to each of the defendants,
Hanson, Toilette and Randy. The jury

Hanson. Thrun, who pleaded guilty to
the charge OF conspiracy when ar
raigned, cannot be sentenced because
there is no co-conspirator-a necessary
element to constitute the offense. The
conspiracy, as alleged, was an attempt

insurance was taken out, was con-
sumed in the fire which destroyed his
