Judge Fleming lumped MeGin- nis’ three terms together and sen- tenced him $0 serve from 32 to 6 years for escaping later mstituted pro- ngs in Allegheny county. which resulted in Supreme decision that MoeGinmis } have been sentenced to 've from 1 to 2 years only, since Was serving only one sentence at the time. The Court also directed that McGinnis be returned to Cen- tre county 10 be resentenced in ac- cordance with the new ruling He is expected to be brought to Belle- fonte from the Western State Pen- itentiary in the near future. While it is probable that a nom- ber of other Rotkview fugitives who Were sentenced before June 25, 1837. ¥ be entitled to shorter terms under the Supreme Court in- terpretation, those sentenced after June 25, 1937 have no possibility of obtaining shorter sentences on these grounds, for on that date the State Legislature passed an act setting forth that when two or more sen- fences run consecutively, the ag. gregate time shall be considered as the sentence. In other words had McGinnis been sentenced for es- caping after the passage of the new act, his term of « from 3 to 6 years would have been correct. Rockview suthorities interviewed yesterday were unable to say wheth- er or not other fugitives from the institution in past years will bene- fit under the Court ruling, pointing out that such records are kept at the Western Penitentiary at Pitts- burgh Pleasant View Union Chapel L.
