Presley v. State

On January 25, 1952, a raid was made on the Sage Patch Cafe, located on the north side of U. S. Highway 90 near the line between Mississippi and Alabama; and certain slot machines found there, in the possession of appellant, were confiscated. Thereafter, appellant was convicted of the unlawful possession of said gambling devices in District No. 3 of Jackson County, Mississippi.
