I think you must find some other Bourco evidence that thero was a conspiracy between Hermann and the parties mentioned in tho letters, or to whom they were written. I cannot boo how tho Jury Is to infer that the letters wore criminal, no such lottors being shown, from tho fact that an alleged conspiracy exist ed, tind that somo letters woro writ ten to men accused of this crime.
