Walton v. State
Walton v. State
Opinion of the Court
The question is as to the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict. And that it was amply sufficient is beyond a doubt. The statute (Hart. Dig. Art. 1478) dispenses with the necessity of proving what was bet, or in what, in particular, the betting consisted. It is sufficient to support a conviction, if the evidence was such as reasonably to satisfy the jury, that the defendant did “ bet ” or “ was concerned in betting ” as charged. Proof of the betting of “ checks,” as representing money, was sufficient proof of the betting of money. Proof sufficient to satisfy the jury that the defendant bet money
Judgment affirmed.
