Appeal, No. 84, Oct. T., 1900, by defendants in a suit of Commonwealth against Nicholas George and Jacob George, from sentence of Q. S. Blair Co., Jan. Sess., 1900, No. 22, on verdict of guilty. Per Curiam. Indictment for conspiracy. It appears from the record that Nicholas George and Jacob ■George were indicted for the crime of conspiring to cheat W. H. Strauss out of a claim held by him against Jacob George.

Affirmed · Decided 1900-05-24

Per Curiam,

¶1The first assignment of error cannot be sustained. The court is not bound to entertain a motion to direct a verdict of acquittal until the conclusion of all the testimony. The second assignment raises the question as to the sufficiency of the testimony to warrant a conviction. After a careful consideration of the evidence we are not convinced that the court committed error in submitting the question to the jury.

¶2The judgment is affirmed and the record is remitted to the court below .to the end that the sentence be fully carried into -effect.
