  2. “Both parties address this issue utilizing case law which interpreted the Act of May 28, 1937, P.L. 1036, § 1, 19 P.S. § 894. This statute was suspended in 1973 and replaced by Pa.R.Crim.P.Rule 1406, 42 Pa.C.S.A. Because we find no substantial change in the law occa-’ sioning the advent of Rule 1406, we deem the case law cited by the parties appropriate and dispositive of the instant issue.”
