State v. Yoe
State v. Yoe
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the Court was delivered by
The defendants, W. S. Yoe and Thomas J. Yoe, were tried at the March term, 1906, of the Court of General Sessions for Greenwood county, before Judge Prince and a jury, upon the charge of keeping and maintaining a house for the purpose of gaming.
After the case had been committed to the jury and a charge from his Honor, Judge Prince, the jury returned a verdict of guilty; whereupon the defendants moved an arrest *382 of judgment, which was granted. From the ruling of the Circuit Judge, the solicitor appealed to this Court.
The appeal came on to be heard on the 17th of January, 1907, the opinion 'being rendered by Mr. Justice Woods, which decision will be found in 76 S. C., 46, 56 S. F. Rep., 542, whereby this Court overruled the action of the Circuit Court, and remitted the case to the Circuit Court for sentence, and at the February term, 1907, Judge Purdy sentenced each of the defendants, Thomas J. Yoe and W. S. Yoe, to pay a fine of one hundred and twenty-five dollars and be imprisoned at hard labor in the penitentiary for three months.
The defendants, thereupon, appealed to this Court.
However, the finding of fact by the Circuit Judge is conclusive upon us.
The judgment of this Court is, therefore, that the appeal be dismissed, and the case is remitted to the Circuit Court to have Judge Purdy’s order carried into execution.
