Opinion:
Opinion
Per Curiam,
Petitioner challenges a 1948 conviction in reliance on the decision in Escobedo v. Illinois, 378 U.S. 478, 84 S. Ct. 1758 (1964). Having concluded today that the rule of that case is not to be given retrospective application, Commonwealth v. Negri, 419 Pa. 117, 213 A. 2d 670 (1965), Negri is here controlling.
Order affirmed.
Mr. Justice Cohen dissents.
