““ . . . when two or more persons combine to commit a criminal offense, each is responsible for the acts of the other in furtherance of the common purpose, if the act done either is within the scope of the purpose, or is the natural or probable consequence of the act intended. j|í * But an act done by one of several conspirators who have unlawfully assembled, and are actually perpetrating a crime, if entirely outside of the common purpose, and not inspired by the other conspirators or participated in by them, will not render them liable therefor.” (Emphasis supplied) .”
