Sims v. The State.
Argued October 20, —
Decided October 29, 1903.
Indictment for keeping policy lottery. Before Judge Seabrook. Chatham superior court. August 1, 1903.
Robert L. Colding, for plaintiff in error.
W. W. Osborne, solicitor-general, and D. J. Oharlton, contra.

Opinion:
Canelek, J.
1. It appears that the alleged improper statement by the solicitor-general in his argument to the jury was, so far as it affected the accused, merely an assertion of a conclusion which was fairly inferable from the evidence ; and it was therefore not error to refuse to grant a mistrial because of such statement.
2. The evidence warranted the conviction of the accused, and the motion for a new trial was properly overruled.
Judgment affirmed.
All the Justices concur.
