Norwalk storekeeper appeals fine over gambling machine

Carl Adams, lunch room operator near the White Fridge in Rowayton, appeals a $40 fine after Judge George T. Vosburgh found him guilty of keeping a gambling machine in his establishment. The case, delayed while similar rulings from New Haven and Hartford were awaited, centered on whether mint sales negated renewal with each coin.
