   Per Curiam

This case was tried in the lower court before Judge WiNDES,then sitting on the circuit bench; hence he did not participate in the consideration of the case.

There is a division of opinion between the remaining justices, and the case is therefore affirmed by a divided court, and no opinion will be filed.
