- different teams of people staged automobile collisions in various parts of Louisiana for the common purpose of defrauding insurers
- revelation of criminal records of co-defendants is not so prejudical as to warrant a severance
- conspiracy among numerous individuals, including doctors and lawyers, to stage automobile accidents and to file and collect for fraudulent insurance claims
- variance between indictment and proof is fatal only when it affects substantial rights of defendant by failing sufficiently to notify him of the charges against him so that he may prepare a proper defense
