Description
The appellants were separately indicted in the court below in three counts for stealing mail matter in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. ร§ 317, now 18 U.S.C.A. ร§ 1708. In count one of each indictment it was charged that the defendant named therein, on or about October 1, 1946, "did steal, take and abstract a letter containing a bank statement from the authorized mail depository of Mrs. Janet H. Jones", of Boston. In count two of the indictments the defendants were charged with the identical offense with respect to the authorized mail depository of Sidney E. White, of Allston, and in count three the defendants were charged with the same offense with respect to the authorized mail depository of Mabel G. Bradfield, of Brookline. The defendants were tried together by a jury on pleas of not guilty; verdicts of guilty were returned as to each defendant on all three counts of the indictments, and the defendants were sentenced to four years imprisonment on each count, the sentences to run concurrently, and "to begin upon the release of defendant from institution where he is now serving a sentence under a judgment of a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." Each defendant thereupon appealed to this court and we ordered consolidation and permitted prosecution in forma pauperis.
