Bank Night Lottery Held Violates Law in Georgia
Georgia Court of Appeals ruled Monday that "bank night" plans run by theater operator Joe Jarman in LaGrange constituted a lottery in violation of criminal laws. Jarman, convicted June 9, 1936, faced a $260 fine and six months on probation in LaGrange city court.
