Criminal law — Sentence — Parole — Violation — Commission of other crime — Imprisonment for further period — Remainder of maximum sentence not served when parole was granted — Act of June 19, 1911, P.L. 1055, as amended.
1. Under § 10 of the Act of June 19, 1911, P.L. 1055, as amended, where the parole of a prisoner, who was sentenced to a state penitentiary for a minimum and a maximum term, has been revoked for the commission of another crime, he may be imprisoned for another period equaling the remainder of the maximum term not served when the parole was granted.
2. In this case, relator's contention that he was required to be discharged at the expiration of the maximum period computed from the date of sentence was Held to be without merit.
