Washington, D. C., July 17, 1958. Director, Bit. Tracy -esecnee— Federal Bureau of Investigation, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: nat. Nichols... ~—-- I would like to call your attention to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United 5 re on May 16, 1938, in the case entitled’ "Zerhat vf Kidwell et al" (58 Sup. Ct. Rep. 872) » feeling G that the decision should considered r inclusion,in briefed form, in the section of the7 1 of Inatr- LY uctions devoted to Criminal Procedure. ~~ Apparently Gecision is to the effect that a prisoner who while on parolé during the period of a ‘setitence for one Federal crime commits a second Federal orime for which he is convicted and sentenced and serves @ sentence therefor may be retained in cus- tody on parole board warrants and compelled to serve the remaining time of the sentence imposed for the first Federal crime. It would seem that the original sentence does not run concurrently with the period served for the second sentence and, therefore, that the prisoner must complete the term of his first sent- ence after the second sentence has been served. I trust you will find the case-report inter- esting’ abd of value t6 the Bureau- Very en’ h) CY Federal Berean of Investigation, 2206 US Dept. Justice, \ D
