1Opinion of the Court
THE COU.RT
instructed the jury that it was not necessary for the United States to prove that the traverser was the owner of the table, if he played at it as owner, and' appeared to be the person who set it up. And that it was of no importance whether the traverser acted as principal or as agent or servant for the owner of the table. In each case he was equally guilty.
Quaere. See U. S. v. Voss [Case No. 16,828], and the cases there referred to.
