law, with setting up gambling device, to wit.

of the corps were charged with the same offense
on the night of March 3Oth. Mr.. Thomas ap-
peared for the prosecution, and d. E. Cahill for
the defense. Officers Vanzant and Golway each
testified that the defendants, with the excep-
tion of the captain, took part in the use of the
spinning jenny, and described the game. Mr..
Cahill claimed that 1t was not gambling under
the law. The court said there was no question
but that the spinning jenny was gambling
device; they had made use Of ii, put 1t into a
fair and the statute covers it. The court thought
the case had better go to the grand jury and let
