COMMONWEALTH V. SKIPPER
294 A.2d 780 (1972)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a pro se appeal from a conviction as the principal
perpetrator of an attempted prison breach.
FACTS: A witness testified that D had approached him in prison asking to get some hacksaw
blades for $150 to be paid by a fellow inmate. The witness was a day release prisoner who
worked at a nearby bakery. The witness testified that he put the blades in the bread at the
bakery and that at a later time D agreed to receive the blades. D got the blades and then
told the witness to talk to the fellow inmate. That inmate then gave the witness a note for
$150. Prison officials got word of the transaction by obtaining the note. On June 2 prison
officials caught the other inmate while he was attempting to go over the prison wall and
they found a hacksaw blade on his person. A shake down was done and two more blades were
found in D's cell. The jury found D guilty and this appeal resulted.
