April Term, 1927.
No. 27,
June Term, 1926.

Opinion:
Rice, J.
As the alleged statement of the deceased was not an admission against interest, did not accompany any act done by him, and was not a statement of intention, it does not come within any exception to the hearsay rule; we, therefore, grant the motion to strike out. State v. Long, 2 W. W. Harr. (32 Del.) 380, 123 A. 350; Wigmore on Evidence, vol. 3, § 1712; Greenleaf on Ev., § 108, vol. 1.
