Description

Where a criminal proceeding was commenced in a Massachusetts court against a prisoner in a Federal penal institution and the
Federal authorities consented to sending him here for trial provided the United States was reimbursed for the expense involved,
the guaranty of a speedy trial in art. 11 of the Declaration of Rights of the Massachusetts Constitution required the Commonwealth,
at the instance of the defendant, to take within a reasonable time the necessary steps to secure his presence here for trial,
including paying the expense involved, and if the Commonwealth should fail to do so, he would become entitled to dismissal
of the Massachusetts proceeding. Cutter, J., Concurring in the result. On May 10, 1963, the grand jury for Suffolk County returned three indictments charging the defendant with assault by means
of a dangerous weapon, assault with intent to murder, and carrying a firearm without a license. Four months before the return
of these indictments the defendant was convicted of "kidnapping and Dyer Act charges" in the United States District Court
for the District of Connecticut, and a prison sentence of twenty-two years was imposed. The defendant now is, and has been
since his conviction, serving this sentence in the United States penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia. The Commonwealth "has placed
detainer warrants" against the defendant on the three above mentioned indictments, but has taken no other steps to bring him
to trial.
