Dailey v. State
27 Tex. Ct. App. 569
Tex. App.
1889
Check Treatment
Willson, Judge.

This conviction is not supported by the evidence in the record. Defendant is charged in the indictment with playing cards at a public place, to wit? at Starkey’s gin. It was not proved that he played cards at said gin.

Furthermore, the indictment is bad. A gin is not one of the places or houses designated by the statute as public; wherefore it was necessary to allege in the indictment the facts which made it a public place. (Tummins v. The State, 18 Texas Ct. App., 12.)

The judgment is reversed and the prosecution is dismissed.

Reversed and dismissed.
