86 So. 782 | La. | 1920
Defendant was charged in a bill of indictment with the offense of aiding and assisting in the keeping and operation of a banking game and banking house, in which money was bet and hazarded contrary to law. This being a misdemeanor, he was tried before the judge without a jury, duly convicted, and sentenced to pay a fine of' $2,500, and in default- thereof to serve six months in the parish jail.
Defendant appeals and presents for our consideration but one exception, and that was retained to the overruling of his motion for a new trial. The grounds of the motion were that the conviction was not supported by the law and the evidence, and defendant attaches to the motion and bill of exception the entire evidence which was reduced to writing.
Binding that there was some evidence upon which defendant might have been convicted, we are compelled to sustain the judgment of the lower court, and for the reasons assigned it is affirmed.
