¶1Criminal Law @=>242(1) — Removal from District of Residence — Warrant.
¶2Where defendants were indicted in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, a warrant for their removal will he granted by the District Court for Rhode Island, in which state defendants resided, notwithstanding the pendency of an indictment in that court against them for similar offenses; defendants making no claim for speedy trial in the *713District Court for Rhode Island, and there being no showing that the-granting of the warrant of removal would result in unreasonable delay.

¶4In the matter of Frank W. Tillinghast, of Leonard L. Barber, and of Sam A. Fenner. On petitions by the United .States for warrants of removal.
¶5Petitions granted.
¶6Harvey A. Baker, U. S. Atty., of Providence, R. I., for petitioners.
¶7Charles C. Murnford, John S. Murdock, and Michael J. Lynch, all of Providence, R. I., opposed.
¶9These petitions of the United States for warrants of removal, and the petitions for discharge upon writs of habeas corpus, were heard together.
¶10The opinion of the court on habeas corpus proceedings filed this day (Law No. 1260, 233 Fed. 710), disposes of most of the questions arising upon these petitions for warrants of removal.
¶11The fact that indictments for another offense are now pending in this district is not, under the present circumstances, a sufficient reason for a refusal to issue warrants of removal. At the hearing an inquiry was made by the court whether the defendants claimed the right to a speedy trial of the indictments pending in this court, and whether they claimed that the right to such speedy trial would be unreasonably dekyed by the removal; but, though opportunity was offered, no such claim was made.
¶12There appears, therefore, no sufficient reason for denying the petitions for warrants of removal. Haas v. Henkel, 216 U. S. 462, 475, 30 Sup. Ct. 249, 54 L. Ed. 569, 17 Ann. Cas. 1112.
¶13The petitions for warrants of removal are granted.
