Stanaland found three defendants guilty of operating illegal machines in their places of business. The defendants were C. P. WHletts, Bolivia, A. B. Willis, Shallotte, and Odell Williamson, Shailotte. Each was fined $100.00 and costs, one-half the fine in each being remitted. The machines were ~--iand tho mnnp* UIUC1CU UCOVIUJVU tt?u H?v found therein to be distributed according to law. The prosecuting witnesses at the trial were Deputies sheriff E. V. Leonard and Mangus Tripp who told of having visited the places of business operated by each of the defendants and of having played the machine^ which were later confiscated. They told of how one of the machines paid off each time a successful combination was shown at the top. Hie other two, they said, did not pay off but operators of the places where they were kept paid off on top of the table. S. B. Frink, counsel for the defense, contended that each of the machines bore a county license and a state license and that no licensed machine could be adjudged illegel under the law. He pleaded that the machines were not gambling devices, but that there was no power to prevent people from gaming on them by agreement between themselves.
