1 The figures under the heading “Criminal defendants" are net figures due to the fact
that defendants appearing in more than one case commenced during this fiscal year have
been counted only once.

Because of the elimination of these duplicate defendants it is
possible for the figures for defendants to be smaller in a particular district than the cor-
responding figures for cases. For the fiscal year 1952 a total of 1,932 duplicate defendants
was eliminated; 1,524 in the 86 districts, 327 in the District of Columbia, and 81 in Alaska,
Canal Zone, Guam and Virgin Islands.

2 Proceedings are transferred for plea and sentence from one district to another pursuant
to Rule 20 F. R. Cr. P. on the request of the defendant and with the consent of the United
States attorneys in both districts.

3 In addition to fugitives, defendants serving in the Armed Forces are included. Only

those defendants in these classes are counted whose cases had been pending 6 months or more at the end of the fiscal year. In districts where no

fugitives or defendants in the Armed
Forces are reported or where the number is relatively small, the reason usually is that cases
against defendants of these classes in which no action had been taken for a period of 6
months have been "closed with leave to reinstate” and are therefore not counted
as pending cases.

Figures for fugitives, etc., for the Southern District of New York are unavailable.
5 District of Columbia figures in this column include fugitives, defendants in the Armed
Forces, and insane defendants.
6 Includes Charleston, Florence, and Orangeburg divisions.
7 Includes Columbia and Aiken divisions.
