1Opinion of the Court
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. United States, 9 Cir., 10 F.2d 106, 107, Gros v. United States, 9 Cir., 138 F.2d 261 (one judge dissenting), United States v. Shaddix, D.C., S.D.Miss., 43 F. Supp. 330, and a number of State cases.…
