James Williams and Leroy Williams, the appellants, and William Edward Ward were jointly indicted, charged with, 1st count: selling a lottery ticket (Md.

The appellants were jointly tried at a court trial in the Criminal Court of Baltimore, each was found guilty under the 3rd and 4th counts and each was sentenced generally to one year under the jurisdiction of the Department of Correctional Services and fined $1000 and costs. As to James Williams the prison sentence and fine were consecutive. As to Leroy Williams the prison sentence was suspended upon payment of fine and costs. The questions presented on appeal go to the sufficiency of the evidence, each appellant claiming that the evidence did not prove the charges of which he was convicted.
