People v. Solomon

Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Court of Special Sessions of the City of New York, Borough of Queens, convicting him of the crime of bookmaking (Penal Law, § 986). Judgment of conviction reversed on the law, the information dismissed and the fine remitted on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Carpenito, 292 N. Y. 498.) Close, P. J., Hagarty, Johnston and Adel, JJ., concur; Carswell, J., not voting.
