Jurisdiction depends on where the crime was committed. See United States v. Bazzell, 187 F.2d 878, 882 (7th Cir.) cert. denied 342 U.S. 849, 72 S.Ct. 73, 96 L.Ed. 641, reh'g denied 342 U.S. 889, 72 S.Ct. 171, 96 L.Ed. 667 (1951). Under the concept of territorialism, jurisdiction can exist only in those places where the crime was committed.
Counsel for both sides are agreed the Federal courts have had no trouble interpreting the word "otherwise" in this context to mean the statute prohibits interstate transportation of kidnapped persons for specific purposes other than pecuniary gain, thereby rejecting the ejusdem generis rule. See, Gooch v. United States, 297 U.S. 124, 126, 56 S.Ct. 395, 80 L.Ed. 522 (to prevent arrest), United States v. Parker, D.C., 19 F. Supp. 450, 453, affirmed in 3 Cir., 103 F.2d 857, 860, certiorari denied 307 U.S. 642, 59 S.Ct. 1044, 83 L.Ed. 1522 (to enhance defendant's reputation as a detective), United States v. Bazzell, 7 Cir., 187 F.2d 878, 882 (to place victim in house of prostitution), and Poindexter v. United States, 8 Cir., 139 F.2d 158 (for flogging). Defendant does not dispute the validity of the Federal decisions; rather, as evidenced by his arguments, he questions only the applicability of such Federal interpretation to the questioned phrase as found in the Arizona statute.
"It is wholly immaterial what statute was in the mind of the district attorney when he drew the indictment, if the charges made are embraced by some statute in force." See also United States v. Bazzell, 7 Cir., 187 F.2d 878; United States v. Austin-Bagley Corporation, D.C.N.Y., 24 F.2d 527; United States v. Lucas, D.C.Wash., 6 F.2d 327; Taylor v. United States, 7 Cir., 2 F.2d 444; Baker v. State, 200 Ark. 688, 140 S.W.2d 1008; People v. Arthur, 1 Cal.App.2d Supp. 768, 32 P.2d 1002. It is immaterial that the amended information denominated the crime involuntary manslaughter rather than negligent homicide.
