    Submitted November 9, 1970.
    Before Wright, P. J., Watkins, Montgomery, Jacobs, Hoffman, Spaulding, and Cercone, JJ.
    
      John J. Dean, Assistant Public Defender, and George II. Boss, Public Defender, for appellant.
    
      Carol Mary Los and Robert L. Campbell, Assistant District Attorneys, and Robert W. Duggan, District Attorney, for Commonwealth, appellee.
    April 15, 1971:
   Opinion

Per Curiam,

Judgment of sentence affirmed.

Dissenting Opinion by

Hoffman, J.:

Appellant was convicted in federal district court for the armed robbery of a savings and loan institution. Subsequently, he ivas convicted by the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas for the same robbery.

This conviction raises a question identical in all relevant respects with the appeal in Commonwealth v. Mills, 217 Pa. Superior Ct. 269, 269 A. 2d 322 (1970). For the reasons stated in my dissenting opinion in that case, I would vacate the judgment of sentence and discharge appellant on this charge.
