Description
Plaintiff in error, to whom we herein refer as defendant, was convicted upon a jury trial of "confidence game," under section 222, chapter 48, 35 C.S.A., and sentenced to serve a term of not less than one and one-half years nor more than five years in the state penitentiary. The statute, in so far as here pertinent, reads as follows: "Every person who shall obtain, or attempt to obtain, from any other person or persons, any money or property by means of or by use of brace faro, or any false or bogus checks, or by any other means, instrument or device, commonly called confidence games, shall be liable to indictment, and on conviction shall be punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary for any term not less than one year, nor more than twenty years."
