POMEROY, Justice.

The sole issue before us is whether the decision of this Court in Commonwealth v. Campana, 452 Pa. 233, 304 A.2d 432 (1963), vacated and remanded, 414 U.S. 808, 94 S.Ct. 73, 38 L.Ed.2d 44 (1973) (Campana I), on remand, 455 Pa. 622, 314 A.2d 854 (1974), cert. denied, 417 U.S. 969, 94 S.Ct. 3172, 41 L.Ed.2d 1139 (1974) (Campana II), adopting the “same criminal episode” or “same transaction” test for the joinder of offenses for trial, is applicable to this case. We now hold that Campana is not applicable.

This is an appeal from the per curiam order of the Superior Court…
