Later decisions citing this case, by decade. The current decade is in progress, and our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so the latest bars are undercounted — not a real decline.

¶1Mr. Richard L. Merrick, of Washington, D. C., submitted on the brief for appellants.

¶2Mr. Sidney S. Sachs, Assistant United States Attorney, of Washington, D. C., with whom Messrs. Edward M. Curran, United States Attorney at the time the brief was filed, and Charles B. Murray, Assistant United States Attorney, both of Washington, D. C., were on the brief, submitted for appellee.

¶3Before EDGERTON, CLARK and PRETTYMAN, Associate Justices.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5Appellants were convicted of keeping gaming tables. D.C.Code 1940, § 22— 1504. There are conflicts in the testimony, but the convictions are supported by sufficient evidence. The tenant of the premises was an incorporated club but there was evidence that appellants took part in carrying on its gambling activities. They were therefore responsible as principals. D.C.Code 1940, § 22 — 105. There was evidence of gambling on more than one occasion. Moreover, one occasion was enough. Nelson v. United States, 28 App.D.C. 32, 37. Testimony of appellant Walling at a previous trial, together with a bank statement to which it related, were rightly admitted since this testimony had some tendency to establish his guilt. Milton v. United States, 71 App.D.C. 394, 110 F.2d 556. Appellants’ other contentions are also without merit.

¶6Affirmed.
