Description
On July 29, 1948, defendant, Leonard Vraniak, was sentenced by the criminal court of Cook County in cause No. 48-114 to a term of ten years in the Illinois State Penitentiary for the crime of larceny. The order of the court further directed that the term of said imprisonment should commence at the expiration of a previous sentence of one year to life imposed upon the prisoner by the same court on January 15, 1941. Thereafter, on November 25, 1948, and while still confined in the common jail of Cook County, defendant fashioned openings in the metal partitions Page 386 of two adjoining cells so as to enable a fellow prisoner, who had been previously sentenced for burglary, to attempt an escape. As a result, defendant was indicted, tried by jury, and found guilty in the criminal court of Cook County in cause No. 48-2458 of "unlawfully, feloniously, wilfully, and knowingly" aiding, abetting, and assisting in the escape attempt in violation of section 92 of division I of the Criminal Code. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1947, chap. 38, par. 228.) The indictment contained neither a specific allegation of criminal "intent" nor reference to defendants previous convictions. After his motion for a new trial was denied, the defendant was, on May 13, 1949, sentenced to a term of from six to ten years in the penitentiary, such sentence to be consecutive to the one previously imposed in cause No. 48-114.
