The defendants in both of the above cases were indicted in September, 1953, in the District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, for the violation of Section 145(b) Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C.A. § 145(b).
The charges in both indictments are substantially the same, and charge in effect that the defendants "did willfully and knowingly attempt to defeat and evade a large part of the income tax due and owing * * * to the United States of America * * * by filing and causing to be filed with the Collector of Internal Revenue for the Internal Revenue Collection District of West Virginia, at Parkersburg, West Virginia, a false and fraudulent income tax return."
The defendants have filed two motions, one asking that the particular case be transferred to the District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia under Rule 21(b), Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C.A., and the other motion asking for a bill of particulars. Counsel have stated that the latter motion for a bill of particulars is made in aid of the first motion to transfer. The motion for bill of particulars asks the government to state where the defendants resided at the time the returns were filed, and where the income tax returns were executed and placed in the mail.
The defendants claim that the offenses charged in the indictments were committed in both the Northern and Southern Districts of West Virginia and
