Description

QUA, Justice. The defendant has been convicted of setting up and promoting a lottery in violation of G. L.(Ter.Ed.) c. 271, § 7. The lottery consisted in the operation of an advertising scheme called 'Bank Night' by which prizes were given away to persons who had previously registered and whose numbers were drawn on a platform in front of the screen in a moving picture theatre at Middleborough of which the defendant was manager. The general plan of 'Bank Night' as operated by the defendant was similar to that described in Commonwealth v. Wall, 295 Mass. 70, 3 N.E.2d 28, and need not be described in detail here. At the exhibition in the evening of the day specified in the complaint the defendant, inside the theatre, called the name of one Boehme as a prize winner. According to the evidence Boehme was then on a parking lot where 'the crowds gathered' outside and in the rear of the theatre. A door man announced Boehme's name from the fire escape, and Boehme came into the theatre without paying for admission and obtained a prize of $100.
