12 Ga. App. 710 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1913
The other circumstances introduced in behalf of the State, such as the proximity of the accused to those who were shown to be players in the game, and his interest in the proceedings, might have been insufficient to authorize a conviction (Griffin v. State, 5 Ga. App. 43, 62 S. E. 685); but the pregnant fact that he claimed the money that was being played for, taken in consideration with the other circumstances, when unexplained, was so incompatible with innocence as to fully authorize the verdict. Judgment affirmed.
