After I had seen enough to understand that perhaps the sensational charges that were being made were being made for an ulterior purposecertainly they were made out of whole clothI asked permission to talk with the prisoner. * I hold no brief for this prisoner. But he tells me the most amazing story I have ever heard. Judge JENNINGS. when you said that he would be a cancer on the body politic permanently. you are dead wrong. because part of the sentence imposed carried with it his deportation because under the law. within 30 days. I believe it is. after a sentence for a felony is imposed. the court may within its discretion suspend the order of deportation. But at the insistence of the Attorney General the order of deportation was not suspended. The record discloses that the Department of Justice not only vigorously prosecuted the case against Rubinstein but insisted on an unprecedented amount of bail when the indictment was found. After Rubinstein was convicted the Department of Justice insisted that the judge impose a sentence of 5 years and to pay a fine of $50.000.
