Court Rules For Lane In Gambling Case
State Rep. Melvin Lane was cleared by directed verdict in a civil suit to recover 500 dollars. Veneziano alleged Lane borrowed the money at a card game last November and issued three checks totaling 500 that later failed. Lane testified he joined the game to investigate complaints about gambling and had no intent to honor the checks.
