Supreme Court of Pennsylvania July 6, 1965, Appeal, 18 (Commonwealth Ex Rel. Budd v. Maroney)

Opinion by

Mr. Justice O’Brien,

On February 25, 1953, Alice G. Storch was murdered in her home in Cranberry Township, Butler County. The Commonwealth contended that her husband, Ernest E. Storch, had hired the assassins. Russell Budd and Walter Henderson were charged with the crime as the actual assailants.

Storch was convicted on two counts of accessory before the fact to murder.
