Description
The defendant was convicted, after
a trial to the court, of conspiracy to violate the
statutes against gaming. The information charged
that on November 8, 1950, in Stamford, he conspired
with three others to conduct a "lottery known as
policy" and pursuant to the conspiracy "did aid
and assist in the sale, distribution and collection of
policy tickets so-called." At the conclusion of the
state's case, the defendant's motion to dismiss was
denied. The defendant rested without offering
any evidence and the court found him guilty as
charged. He has appealed. By his assignments
of error he has attacked several of the court's
rulings upon evidence, but one of which has been
urged in argument, its finding of subordinate
[139 Conn. 231]
facts and the conclusions based thereon, and also
its conclusion that "upon all of the evidence"
he is guilty. As we have repeatedly pointed
out, his rights are fully protected by the
comprehensive examination of the record required
by the latter assignment, without consideration of
the claimed corrections of the finding. State v.
Guastamachio, 137 Conn. 179, 183, 75 A.2d 429;
State v. Nelson, 139 Conn. 124, 125, 90 A.2d 157.
Accordingly, no discussion of the errors assigned
in the finding is necessary. In his opening argument
before us, moreover, counsel for the defendant said:
"I accept the facts as stated in the state's brief,
and still claim that no conspiracy has been proved
as to Grosso." We restrict our consideration to the
question whether the court was warranted in
concluding upon those facts that the defendant is
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
