Johnston stated that he had another charge then and that was resisting an officer. In an interview with Mr. Chris-' topher regarding the charge the game of chance he stated that the only game of chance he had was that he sold candy bars similar to those sold by many other stores, which contained slips and -if the purchaser WaR lucky enough to the right kind of slip entitled him to another sample bar.
