%, Larkio, 256 Minn, 314, 315, 98 N.W.2d 70, 71 (1959). \

See also State y. ‘Clark, 392 -P.2d 539, 541 (Wyo. 1964).

The. argument i is literally untrue in many cases, since the
"gtate defendant confined in a “federal penitentiary fre-

‘ . quently will not have left the state’s jurisdiction, and indeed
very commonly. the state charge will grow out of the pre-
cise incident for which he is serving the federal. sentence.
Even where the defendant did actually,g0%o another state,

to speak of this as making the trial “impossible” is fietive
talk.” as Justice Schaefer wrote for the ‘Thinois Supreme

aie denstibationsl ate of a Rs tgial conteni-
” splates that the means that are available to meet its

Byrne, 20 Wis./2d°504, 512, 123 N.W2di 35, ' nde).

Neither separately nor together ‘do ‘the fade in :
favor of the older rule justify denying a citizen, merely,
because he is in custody in another juris ion, “one of
the most basic rights preserved by. our Constitution.”
Klopfer v. Nogth ‘Carolina, 386 U.S. 213, 223 (1967).

Three recent decisions of this Court seem to be enough
to settle the matter. One is the Klopfer case, just cited, in
-which the Court held that the right to a speedy trial, se-
cured by the Sixth Amendment, is bindihg op the ‘states
by virtue of the Fourteenth Amendment. Another is Mathis
v. United States, 391 U.S.'1 (1968), with its clear implica-
tion that one in custody for one offense’ does not thereby
forfeit his constitutional rights with sheets to 52 oo ale
that may be made against him,

Most closely in point is. Barber’ vy, Page, 390° US. 719
(1968), in which the Court held that & person sonfind 3 in-
