VIE was the result OF active interfer-
cnce on the part OF tho dcfcndants

ment. or arguments. with tho delib-
crate intention and solely for the pur-
pose OF bringing about such separation

L. The court instructs the Jury that
II you believe from tho evidence that
TWO or more of the defendants en- j.
| tered into conspiracy or common
scheme TO separate the plaintiT and
his wife. as defined In these instruc-
tons, then the acts and declarations
OF any of the conspirators in further

the conspiracy. until after they were

3. The jury are instructed that a
common design or purpose by two or
more of the defendants Is the essence
OF the charge of conspiracy in the
declaration In this case. and this com

direct evidence or by proof OF such
circumstances as naturally tend to
prove II, and sufficient in themselves
to satisfy you of the existence Of such
common design before you can ind n
conspiracy. If you believe that no such
common design or purpose by two or
more of defendants. as alleged in the
declaration. has been proven by the
greater weight OF tho evidence. you
must hold that no such conspiracy was
! ever entered into.
! e. You are also instructed that If
YOU shall find that no such conspir-
acy was entered into, then any evil
dopce of any statement made. or of
any net done. by any one of the de-
PENDANTS out OF tho presence or hear
Ing OF the others or OF any one of
them. must not be considered by you
as affecting any one OF the defend
ants so absent or out OF hearing,
unless the evidence shows that such
statement was made or act done with
the knowledge and approval OF those
not present or within hearing.
