Opinion
Gen. Nos. 41,108, 41,109, 41,110. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed November 20, 1940
BETTING AND GAMING, § 5 — information, sufficiency. In prosecution under book-making statute, defendant could not contend that information was defective because the words "with any book, instrument or device" were omitted, because defendant has violated the statute if he recorded or registered bets or wagers, or sold pools upon the result of any trial or contest of skill, speed or power of endurance of man or beast, and judgment was not void because it ordered that fine and costs be worked out in default of payment (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1939, ch. 38, § 336; Jones Ill. Stats. Ann. 37.266).
See Callaghan's Illinois Digest, same topic and section number.
