    Argued June 12, 1975.
    Before Watkins, P. J., Jacobs, Hoffman, Ceecone, Price, Van der Voort, and Spaeth, JJ.
    
      Robert E. Levy, for appellants.
    
      Stewart J. Greenleaf, Assistant District Attorney, William T. Nicholas, First Assistant District Attorney, and Milton 0. Moss, District Attorney, submitted a brief for Commonwealth, appellee.
    December 22, 1975:
   Opinion by

Hoffman, J.,

Appellants challenge their convictions under §4524 of the Penal Code because §4524 does not specifically define “obscenity” as mandated by Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15 (1973). In a companion case decided today, Commonwealth v. Krasner, 238 Pa. Superior Ct. 1, 352 A.2d 479 (1975), we reversed Krasner’s conviction on the grounds alleged as error by appellants herein.

Accordingly, the judgment of sentence is reversed and appellants are discharged.
