Charge would flow from the charged electroscope to the initially uncharged one,
until the charges are equal on both. At that point, the potential on both ends of
the wire would be equal, there would be no voltage across the wire, and no more
current would flow. Both electroscopes would then be charged, with charge of
the same sign, and with half as much charge as the initially-charged one had.
When an uncharged body is brought in contact with an electroscope, the electroscope will remain unchanged as there is no transfer of charge. The electroscope will continue to show no deflection of the indicator due to the absence of any charge transfer.
When we touch a charged electroscope with our fingers, the excess charge on the electroscope is neutralized by our body, causing the electroscope to discharge and lose its charge. As a result, the leaves of the electroscope will collapse back together.
When a positively charged body is brought close to a gold leaf electroscope, the electrons in the electroscope will be repelled towards the top of the leaves, causing them to diverge. This happens because like charges repel each other, and the positive charge on the body repels the electrons in the electroscope leaves.
If an electroscope is not charged, its leaves will remain in a neutral position, hanging straight down. This is because there is no excess charge to cause the leaves to repel each other and spread apart.
When uncharged materials come in contact with a charged material, some of the electrons from the charged material can move to the uncharged material through a process called charging by induction. The distribution of electrons in both materials can become more balanced, leading to a decrease in the overall charge of the initially charged material.

They hang limp.
You get an electric shock and this happens because the electroscope is charged and your body is good conductor of electricity.
It becomes charged. (negatively)

there is an electric shock when the charge transfers
If the electroscope is not charged, the leaves will remain in their neutral state, hanging down vertically due to gravity. When a charge is introduced, the leaves will either repel or attract each other, depending on the type and amount of charge applied.
An uncharged object can appear charged without charge transfer due to induction. When a charged object is brought near the uncharged object, it causes the charges within the uncharged object to rearrange temporarily, leading to an apparent charge on the surface. This is known as electrostatic induction.
as the distance is increased statically induced charge in the uncharged object reduced to a minimum. Thus coulombic force which is directly proportional to the product of the charges tends to 0.
