Opinion

Luke, J.

Evidence that the defendant and another negro, employees of the Atlantic Ice and Coal Corporation, were on their knees in the gear-room of that corporation, with a coat lying on the floor between them; that the defendant was shuffling cards; that when a policeman entered the room the other negro grabbed a number of pieces of silver money from the said coat, and that a third negro was standing with his hands on his knees apparently observing the proceedings, is sufficient to sustain the defendant’s conviction of gaming.
