Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit August 26, 1946, 9182, 9183 (Johnson v. United States)

EDGERTON, Associate Justice.

Appellant was convicted of forgery, under D.C.Code 1940; § 22 — 1401, and also of conspiracy under 18 U.S.C.A. § 88. His co-conspirator was his wife, who was convicted but is not a party to this appeal.

Appellant urges that it is legally impossible for a husband and wife to conspire with each other. The old common-law rule to that effect has been followed in Dawson v.
