Description
This case portrays the effort of a felon in virtue of his conviction of serious crimes against the United States to seek sanctuary, because of that conviction and sentence, from prosecution by the State of California for offenses charged to have been committed by him against members of that community. The United States District Court freed Schmittroth, upon his own petition, from the physical custody of the state officer who was holding him for trial, and released him to continue his depredations under federal protection among people of the very state which had been enjoined from prosecuting him. This appeal from the order of release is brought by the Sheriff in the interest of law enforcement by California.
