Did not a California jury decide it was a game of skill, back in the 1850's?

A loose quote of Doc Holiday from Tombstone:
"I said poker was an honest profession..."
In reference to Faro, which is similar to Baccarat.

I am not familiar with that one, but back in the 1970's the IRS was forced to consider poker a business for tax purposes. One of the big name players was involved. Is anyone familiar with that case?
