21 S.E.2d 909 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1942
In each of these cases, the evidence authorized the defendant's conviction of the offense of operating a lottery.
It is contended by counsel for the accused that the evidence showed that the alleged lottery book was such a book that "could have been used in the dry-cleaning business as claimed by the plaintiffs in error." The evidence for the State authorized the judge to find that the book found in the possession of the two defendants was a book used in the operation of the lottery. The accused introduced no evidence, and their statements to the judge that the book was used in the dry-cleaning business in which they were employed were evidently rejected by the judge. The overruling of the certioraries was not error.
Judgments affirmed. MacIntyre and Gardner, JJ., concur. *26
