Convictions entered on alternative charges do not automatically require quashing of all counts; only one conviction may stand as a matter of law, and appellate courts may assume the correct standard of proof was applied absent misdirection; here the magistrate relied on extraneous and inadmissible matters and failed properly to consider lawful gambling exceptions and statutory burdens and presumptions, rendering the convictions unsafe and unsatisfactory and requiring quashing.
