1. No contract “clear and definite ‍‌‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‍in its terms” having been shown, the evidence was not sufficient to authorize ‍‌‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‍a conviction of cheating and swindling, under the act approved August 15, 1903 (Acts ‍‌‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‍1903, p. 90).
