PER CURIAM.

This proceeding, brought under the provisions of Sec. 2255, Title 28 U.S. Code, to vacate the sentence heretofore imposed under Count 2 of the indictment on the ground that the offenses charged in Counts 1 and 2 of the indictment are but one and the same offense, was heard upon the record and briefs for the respective parties;

And the Court being of the opinion that the offense of transporting in interstate commerce a motor vehicle, knowing the same to have been stolen, as charged in Count 1 of the indictment, Sec. 2312, Title 18 U.S.Code, is a separate offense from the. offense of receiving or concealing a motor vehicle moving in interstate commerce, knowing the same to have been stolen, as charged in Count 2 of the indictment, Sec. 2313, Title 18 U.S.Code; Spradley v.
