Commonwealth ex rel. Paylor v. Cavell

Opinion by

Rhodes, P. J.,

This is the fourth appeal to this Court by relator, Henry Paylor.1 The matters involved are the validity of a sentence imposed in 1944, and the constitutional right to a public trial. Relator contends, as he did in his prior petitions for writ of habeas corpus, that the sentence imposed on the bill of indictment charging robbery with aggravating circumstances is illegal. See Com. ex rel. Paylor v. Johnston, 180 Pa. Superior Ct. 228, 230, 119 A. 2d 562, allocatur refused 180 Pa. Superior Ct. xxix, certiorari denied 351 U. S. 969, 76 S. Ct. 1035, 100 L. Ed. 1488.…
