Collins, 342 U. S. 519, 522 , 72 S. Ct. 509, 511 , 96 L. Ed. 541 , reh. denied 343 U. S. 937 , 72 S. Ct. 768 , 96 L. Ed. 1344 that: ‘This Court has never departed from the rule announced in Ker v. Illinois, 119 U. S. 436, 444 , 7 S. Ct. 225, 229 , 30 L. Ed. 421 , that the power of a court to try a person for crime is not impaired by the fact that he had been brought within the court’s jurisdiction by reason of a “forcible abduction”.’ “The Court of Appeals of Maryland has followed Ker v. Illinois, supra and Frisbie v. Collins, supra, see McGuire v. State, 200 Md. 601 , 92 A. 2d 582 , cert. den. 344 U. S. 928 , 73 S. Ct. 497 , 97 L. Ed. 714 , Bell v.
