Description
Defendant-appellant, hereinafter called defendant, was charged in the District Court of the Southern District of Ohio under counts 1, 2, 3, and 4 of Indictment 8874 with violating Title 18 U.S.C. 912, on dates specified therein, by falsely assuming and pretending to be an officer and employee acting under the authority of the United States, namely, an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In Count 5 of Indictment 8874 it was charged that defendant, on or about September 12, 1955, not being authorized by the sender, willfully and knowingly intercepted telephone conversations and divulged their substance to certain persons named, in violation of 47 U.S.C.A. 605 and Section 501. The jury found defendant not guilty on Counts 1, 2, and 4 and guilty on Counts 3 and 5 of Indictment 8874. The single count indictment, 8875, charged a violation of 47 U.S.C.A. 605, that is, willfully intercepting and divulging telephone communications, not being authorized by the sender, upon a date preceding that charged in Count 5 of Indictment 8874. The jury found defendant guilty on the single count indictment 8875. The District Court sentenced defendant to imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of $750.00 on Count 5 of 8874, and for three years on Count 3 of 8874, Title 18, Section 912. The sentence on Count 3 was to run consecutively with that under Count 5 of 8874, but sentence under Count 3 was suspended and defendant was placed on probation. Under Indictment 8875 the court sentenced defendant to imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of $750.00, this sentence running consecutively with that imposed under Count 5 of Indictment 8874.
