270 F.2d 448 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Robert H. Ellis v. United States

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, having waived a jury trial, was found guilty and convicted of operating a lottery in violation of the District of Columbia lottery statutes. 1

On appeal he contends first that number slips and other gambling paraphernalia were seized under warrants which were not supported by a showing of adequate probable cause; and second that the evidence was insufficient to sustain a conviction of operating the lottery.

Our examination of the record and consideration of appellant’s contentions satisfy us that there was no error.

Affirmed.
