1. ““In vlmt wrong or crime wore the plaintiff and defendants in pari delict o? If any, it was a conspiracy by the defendants to defraud the plaintiff and to steal his money; -to obtain by deceit and falsehood 1 lie money of plaintiff by inducing him to believe that a foot race was to be mil, and that they were actually wagering their money, one against the other, upon it; and to induce him to believe he was betting upon a foot race. He did not participate in this conspiracy, and could not possibly have done so. * * * By fraud and deceit they caused him to make a pretended wager, and mbbed him of his money, pretending that he had lost it. He might have intended to wager if he had the opportunity, but intention without any act to carry it into effect does not constitute a crime or a wrong, and he was not in pari delicto with the defendants.””
