Burkes v. State
Georgia Court of Appeals · Decided February 4, 1943 · Broyles, MacIntyre, Gardner
24 S.E.2d 229; 68 Ga. App. 805; 1943 Ga. App. LEXIS 363 (South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)

Burkes v. State

Opinion of the Court

Broyles, C. J.

The accused was convicted in the criminal court of Fulton County, of operating a lottery known as the “number game.” The judgment was rendered by the judge, sitting without a jury. The evidence, including the stipulation entered into by counsel for both parties as to the existence and operation of such a lottery in said county *806 on the date of the defendant’s arrest and as to the manner of its operation, amply authorized the defendant’s conviction. The overruling of the certiorari was not error for any reason assigned.

Decided February 4, 1943. Bussell G. Turner, for plaintiff in error. Bond Almand, solicitor, John A. Boykin, solicitor-general, Bur-wood T. Pye, Bindley W. Gamp, solicitor, contra.

Judgment affirmed.

MacIntyre and Gardner, JJ., concur.
