Description
The appellant stands convicted upon a plea of guilty under an indictment charging that he and an accomplice stole a very large quantity of gasoline ration coupons belonging to the United States, contrary to 18 U.S.C.A. § 99. He was sentenced to a long term of imprisonment on April 22, 1943 and nearly seven months thereafter he brought on a motion for vacation of the sentence, withdrawal of his plea, and restoration of the cause to the trial calendar. The ground of his motion was that his plea was coerced by reason of his having been held in "maximum confinement" at the Federal House of Detention from February 23, 1943, the day following his arrest, until after the entry of his plea on April 2, 1943, during which period he was prevented from preparing for trial and became so "depressed of body and mind" that he was led to plead guilty in the hope of being released from such maximum confinement. After an extensive hearing, the motion was denied on January 5, 1944, and the following day the defendant appealed. The record on appeal was not filed, however, until June 20, 1946.
