(2 STAT.] 80TH CONG. , 2D SESS.-CHS. 653 , 654-JUNE 25, 1948 while on probation. The court may thereupon discharge the proba- tioner from further supervision and may terminate the proceedings against him, or may extend the probation, as shall seem advisable. "Whenever during the period of his probation, a probationer here- tofore or hereafter placed on probation, goes from the district in which he is being supervised to another district, jurisdiction over him may be transferred, in the discretion of the court, from the court for the district from which he goes to the court for the other district, with the concurrence of the latter court. Thereupon the court for the dis- trict to which jurisdiction is transferred shall have all power with respect to the probationer that was previously possessed by the court for the district from which the transfer is made, except that the period of probation shall not be changed without the consent of the sentencing court. This process under the same conditions may be repeated whenever during the period of his probation the probationer goes from the district in which he is being supervised to another district. "At any time within the probation period the probation officer may for cause arrest the probationer wherever found, without a warrant, or the court for the district in which the probationer is being super- vised may issue a warrant for his arrest. Such warrant may be executed by either the probation officer or the United States marshal of either the district in which the probationer is being supervised or of any district in which the probationer shall be found. If the proba- tioner shall be so arrested in a district other than that in which he is being supervised, he shall be returned to the district out of which such warrant shall have been issued, unless jurisdiction over him is transferred as above provided to the district in which he is found, and in that case he shall be detained pending further proceedings in such district. As speedily as possible after arrest the probationer shall be taken before the court for the district having jurisdiction over him. At any time after the probation period, but within the maximum period of probation permitted by section 1 of this Act, the court for the district in which the defendant was last being super- vised, may issue a warrant and cause the defendant to be arrested and brought before the court. Thereupon the court may revoke the proba- tion or the suspension of sentence. If there was no previous sentence, the court upon the revocation of probation may impose any sentence which might originally have been imposed. If there was a previous sentence, the court may confirm it or set it aside and impose a new sentence not longer than the previous sentence." Approved June 25, 1948, 4:38 p. m., E. D . T.
