A rehea1ing was denied James J.

by Justice Robb, the court holds that

but of a conspiracy under section 81 of
the penal code and should be sentenced
hereunder.
The trial court imposed sentence of
five years in the penitentiary on Fletcher.

May King. Under the ruling of Justice
Robb. the highest penalty for any one
of the alleged conspirators is two years
