it directed them to start proceedings upon
receipt of complaints from state agents "or
any other person."
Holding that the act was a criminal
statute, Judge Larrabee upheld the defend•
ant's claim that it was vague and unclear
because it did not enumerate all types of
gambling devices expressly prohibited but
used the terms "other similar mechanical
devices" and "devices designed for like
.
forms of gambling."
The Thomson act, Judge Larrabee stated,
"assumes that many enforcement officers
are undependable, if not dishonest; that
the courts are dilatory in their discharge
of their official duties, and that it is nee•
essary that all officers, including "the courts,
have a time limit fixed within which they
must take certain described actions. This,
of course, does not invalidate the act, but
it does raise questions covering the legal•
ity of the methods by which the usual
duties of the officers are either enlarged,
curtailed or abolished."
