The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Rubin Sommers, Appellant.
   Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Court of Special Sessions of the City of New York, Borough of Brooklyn [County of Kings], convicting him of the crime of book-making (Penal Law, § 986). Judgment of conviction reversed on the law, the information dismissed, and bail exonerated, on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. (People v. Soshtain, 288 N. Y. 658; People v. Marra, 289 N. Y. 703; People v. Richardson, 287 N. Y. 563.) Close, P. J., Hagarty, Johnston and Adel, JJ., concur; Carswell, J., dissents and votes to affirm.
