Description
RUGG, Ghief Justice. These three records relate to five indictments against one defendant. The first was returned on October 13, 1932, and the others were returned on October 18, 1932. The first was in six counts and charged six separate larcenies of money. Verdicts in favor of the defendant were directed on counts 2, 4 and 6. The remaining counts respectively charge that the defendant did steal from Frankini Brothers Company Incorporated on June 21, 1929, $5,000, on July 18, 1929, $3,000, and on August 6, 1930, $8,000. The next three indictments are comprised in one bill of exceptions so far as concerns proceedings before verdicts, and in three bills of exceptions as to proceedings subsequent to the verdicts; each indictment charges that the defendant, within specified periods of time with two others unknown, did conspire to bribe municipal officers of the city of Medford in violation of G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 268, 7. The fifth indictment, set forth in another bill of exceptions, charges in two counts, one specifying four thousand dollars on July 21, 1930, and the other two thousand dollars on October 15, 1930, that the defendant did receive a fee, commission, gift or other consideration in connection with a certain business transaction of a trust company of which he was an officer: these counts are based on G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 172, 16, 17, 72, and charge misdemeanors. On April 25, 1933, verdicts of guilty were returned on all the counts in the several indictments submitted to the jury. On May 1, 1933, sentences were imposed as follows: On each of the three indictments for conspiracy, the defendant was sentenced to the house of correction for two years, the sentences to be served concurrently; on the indictment for receiving fees as an officer in connection with the business of the trust company, he was sentenced for one year on each count, to be served concurrently with the sentences on the conspiracy indictments. On the larceny indictments the entry was made that the defendant, having been convicted of three distinct larcenies at the same sitting, was adJudged a common and notorious thief and was sentenced for a term to the State prison, the sentence to take effect after the expiration of the other sentences imposed. G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 266, 40.
