S. Constitution. Pet. alleged Emancipation Proclamation similar to his proposal, cited Schneiderman and Rovin cases. May, 1958: DC granted naturalization.

312.8. Indiviglio v. U. S. (U.S.S.C., #753.) Defs. convicted of narcotics violation. Issues on appeal: 1) Can Defs. inspect Gov't. witness' previous written statement to Gov't. agent in absence of any showing of probable inconsistency with testimony; 2) Do Defs. have standing to object to admission against them of evidence allegedly obtained from co-Def. as result of unlawful search and seizure. CA 5 affirmed. Solicitor Genl. confessed error. June 30: U.S.S.C. reversed. See Jencks (291.1); Agnello, et al. v. U. S. 269 U. S. 20; Giordenello v. U. S., #549 Oct. Term 1957.
312.9. U. S. v. Carlisle. (CA 9.) Def. ordered deported on basis, inter alia, of testimony of Roy Huggins re Def's. alleged Communist Party membership. Def., during hearing, demanded access to affidavit Huggins swore he gave Gov't. prior to testifying; denied. DC affirmed deportation order. May 15: CA reversed, citing U.S.S.C. decision in Jencks, 291.1.
313. Entrapment

313.1. Sherman v. U. S. (U.S.S.C., #87.) Gov't. informer met Def. in doctor's office, where both under treatment for narcotics addiction; after repeated requests induced Def. to sell him narcotics. U.S.S.C. reversed, held: law enforcement does not require such methods, this constituted entrapment and a defense. Frankfurter, Douglas, Harlan, and Brennan, Jj. concurred in separate opinion: test for entrapment is not whether criminal conduct was result of creative activity of law enforcement officials, and it should not be affected by Def.'s past record or inclination to criminality. Defense of entrapment should be determined by Ct., not jury, on basis of what is permissible police activity.
313.2. Masciale v. U. S. (U.S.S.C., #84.) U.S.S.C. affirmed Pet's. conviction of sale of narcotics, held where Pet's. testimony alone could not have established entrapment, issue was properly submitted to jury, and jury found no entrapment. Dissent by Frankfurter, J. (with Douglas, Harlan, and Brennan, Jj.) that case should be remanded to DC for determination of issue of entrapment by trial judge.

322. State cases

322.1. Hoag v. New Jersey. (U.S.S.C., #40.) Pet. acquitted in trial for robbery, where only 1 of 5 victims made positive identification and Pet. alleged alibi. In second trial, based on indictment naming as victim only witness who made positive identification, Pet. convicted. U.S.S.C. affirmed, held no denial of due process and no double jeopardy, since 14th Amendment does not always forbid states to prosecute different offenses at consecutive trials, and states should have latitude in administering their systems of criminal justice, citing Brock v. N. C., 344 U. S. 424. Nor was this conviction barred by collateral estoppel, since no way of knowing whether first acquittal based on question of Pet's. identity or another question. Warren, C.J., Douglas and Black, Jj. dissenting: Pet. forced to "run the gantlet" twice on whether he was present when robbery occurred.
322.2. Ciucci v. Illinois. (U.S.S.C., #157.) In three trials, on same evidence, Pet. found guilty of murder of wife and two children, sentenced first to 20 yrs., then to 45 yrs., then to death. U.S.S.C. affirmed (5-4), held no violation of due process clause since Illinois statute permitted prosecution of these individual offenses singly at separate trials. Douglas, J. dissenting (with Warren, C.J., Brennan, J.): Gov't. allowed to harrass Pet. with repeated trials and convictions on same evidence until it obtained the death penalty. Black, J. concurred in dissent.
322.3. Bartkus v. Illinois. (U.S.S.C., #39.) Def. charged with robbing U. S.-insured bank. DC: acquitted; Ill. ct.: convicted on same charge; life sentence. Jan. 6: U.S.S.C. divided 4-4, (Brennan, J. not sitting), affirming conviction. May 26: U.S.S.C. granted petition for rehearing (Brennan, J. participating).

Ct.: Defs. "might reasonably infer from * * * remarks [of Ct.] that [they] faced one or the other of these courses of action but not both * * *. [T]he absence of such a notice, the subsequent convictions and sentences * * * deprived appellants of due process of law."

For facts, see II DOCKET 16, 76, III DOCKET 34, 55. May 5: U.S.S.C. granted certiorari, 6-3 vacated and remanded to DC with directions to reduce sentence to 7 mths. Pet. has already been confined in course of these proceedings. Per curiam: "* * * when this Ct. found that only a single offense was committed by Pet., and not eleven offenses, it chose not to reduce the sentence but to leave this task, with gentle intimations of the necessity for such action, to the DC. But when in a situation like this the DC appears not to have exercised its discretion in the light of the reversal of the judgment but, in effect, to have sought merely to justify the original sentence, this Ct. has no alternative but to exercise its supervisory power over the administration of justice in the lower fedl. cts. by setting aside the sentence * * *."

Def. indicted for perjury before grand jury, moved to dismiss on ground he was ignorant of law, did not speak English and Gov't. took advantage of him during grand jury appearance in failing to advise of rights under Fifth Amendment. DC dismissed indictment; CA 5 reversed and remanded, holding ignorance of Fifth Amendment rights not justification for perjurious testimony but further hearing to be had to determine whether testimony was wrongfully obtained for other reason.

Warren, C. J., diss.: case should be remanded so NY Ct. of App. can reconsider state law in light of U.S.S.C. majority conclusion that role of fedl. prosecutor was not such as to prevent use of state-compelled testimony against Pet. in a fedl. prosecution.
