Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

Filed July 22, 1986.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph Giebus, Wilkes-Barre, Assistant District Attorney, for Com., appellant.

Joseph J. Yeager, Assistant Public Defender, Wilkes-Barre, for appellee.

Before WIEAND, MONTEMURO and BECK, JJ.


WIEAND, Judge:

This is an appeal by the Commonwealth from an order sustaining a defense demurrer to a charge that Ralph Isreal Cruz had escaped on June 12, 1973 by failing to return to the State Correctional Institution at Dallas after a home furlough. The trial court sustained the demurrer and dismissed the charge because the information, on its face, failed to disclose that the applicable statute of limitations had been tolled.
