Strange v. The State.
Decided June 5, 1912.
Accusation of gaming; from city court of Elberton — Judge Grogan. March 23, 1912.
T. Donnelly Bennett, for plaintiff in error.
Boozer Payne, solicitor, contra.

Opinion:
Hill, C. J.
Where there was evidence that several men were seen on their knees around a eoat, playing cards, at night, by the light of a lantern, and that there were "several little piles of money on the coat," the jury were authorized to infer that these men were playing and betting with cards for money; and the conviction of one of the players, of the offense of gaming, was not wholly unauthorized.
Judgment affirmed.
