Parties | UNITED STATES v. TAYLOR. |
Court | U.S. Court of Appeals — Second Circuit |
Courtney Townsend Taylor, per se.
J. Edward Lumbard, U. S. Atty., New York City, for the United States. Leon Silverman, Asst. U. S. Atty., New York City, of counsel.
Before CHASE, Chief Judge, and CLARK and FRANK, Circuit Judges.
The appellant, having waived indictment, pleaded guilty on June 22, 1951 on all counts of a multiple count information filed on June 21, 1951 in the District Court for the Southern District of New York charging violations of § 2314 of Title 18 U.S.C. He was sentenced on that day on all counts, some of the sentences running concurrently and others consecutively, the over-all sentences being fifteen years and he is presently confined in a Federal penitentiary pursuant to that judgment.
This appeal is from the denial on April 23, 1953 of his motion under Title 28 § 2255 U.S.C. to vacate such sentence. 111 F.Supp. 159.
The questions now raised are whether the information was sufficient and whether the statute of limitations is a bar.
The charging portion of the information consisted of two paragraphs, as follows:

By reference, the allegations in paragraph 1 were made a part of each numbered count to the same effect as though they were repeated in haec verba in each such count. Crain v. United States, 162 U.S. 625, 633, 16 S.Ct. 952, 40 L.Ed. 1097; Blitz v. United States, 153 U.S. 308, 317, 14 S.Ct. 924, 38 L. Ed. 725; Wheeler v. United States, 9 Cir., 77 F.2d 216, 218. And so read each count was sufficient in that it charged the offense with enough...
