Commonwealth v. Halderman

Per Curiam,

E. C. Halderman has appealed to us for a writ of habeas corpus. The petition recites that Halderman was arrested in Lewisburg, Union County, on November 27, 1926, charged with aggravated assault and battery, for which offense he was duly indicted; that, after spending twelve days in the county jail, he was “escorted beyond the jurisdiction of Union County by the sheriff of said county”; that, on November 4, 1929, after being apprehended in Philadelphia County, he was taken to Union County, where he was “made to answer to the old charge as set forth in the indictment in this case.”…
