    The trial of any offense under this chapter shall be in the district

the trial shall be in the district where the offender may be found or 
into which he shall be first brought. Whenever the offense is begun in 
one jurisdiction and completed in another it may be dealt with, inquired 
of, tried, determined, and punished in either jurisdiction in the same
