day Fogarty came to have the (tick-ets
redeemed. They were identical
with the numbers on the tickets sold
to Orlmley, as the records of the

Fogarty's defense was that Orlm-ley
was a member of a drinking
party in "Frog Hollow" and when
there was no more money he gave
the tickets to Fogarty to have them
redeemed.
it was testified that Fogarty was
a ne'er-do-well. He admitted he
was a heavy drinker. When it was
