“"The exeeption is founded upon the proposition that a statement made during the stress of excitement resulting from a startling event is probably trustworthy, since there is not leisure to reflect, contrive or fabricate. The rule assumes the presence of a startling event which temporarily stills the senses and alleviates any motive to fabricate. A leading treatise explains that the excited utterance exception is justified by 'the special reliability that is furnished when excitement suspends the declarant's powers of reflection and fabrication."
