Noel G. Grotvley, appellant in person.

Jerome J. Hersh for respondent.

Order affirmed, without costs, .solely upon the ground that the. adjournment of the proceedings in the Court of Special Sessions to a date when they could be resumed with the District Attorney present did not terminate the trial, and thus the claim of double jeopardy as a bar to its resumption is without foundation.
