Before SWAN and CHASE, Circuit Judges and SMITH, District Judge.
Writ of Certiorari Denied October 17, 1949. See 70 S.Ct. 91.
This appeal is by one of the defendants being tried in the District Court for the Southern District of New York on an indictment charging conspiracy to violate the provisions of Title 18, § 10 U.S.C. now 18 U.S.C.A. § 2385. It is from an order of contempt remanding the appellant for the duration of that trial as punishment for a contempt committed in the presence of the court. The applicable statute is Title 18, § 401(1), which provides that:
Other appeals by other defendants in the same suit from orders of contempt have been heard by this court and have been affirmed in an opinion handed down contemporaneously with this opinion. In so far as the issues therein decided are the same as those here presented, we now refer to that opinion without further discussion of them. See United States v. Hall, 2 Cir., 176 F.2d 163, decided today.
Here, as before, the judge orally ordered the remand immediately after the contemptuous conduct and later, this time on the following day, filed an order of contempt, commitment and certificate in compliance with the provisions of Rule 42(a) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, 18 U.S.C.A.
