ROBERTS, Justice,

dissenting.

I dissent, Appellant’s statements were admitted in violation of Pa.R.Crim.P. 130; see Commonwealth v. Cherry, 457 Pa. 201, 321 A.2d 611 (1974); Commonwealth v. Futch, 447 Pa. 389, 290 A.2d 417 (1972). I would therefore reverse the judgment of sentence and grant appellant a new trial.

MANDERINO, J., joins in this dissenting opinion.
