1Opinion of the CourtCorrigan, J.
This appeal by the state brings before us for decision the question whether the conviction or acquittal of a defendant in a federal court on charges of violation of federal law is a bar to criminal prosecution in a state court for violation of state statutes where both prosecutions relate to and arise from the same criminal acts.
As specifically raised herein, the question is whether the prosecution of defendants in a federal court for violation of Section 2113, Title 18, U. S. Code, forecloses prosecution of defendants in our courts for the same acts which are in violation of R. C. 2907.141.
