    March 5, 1979.

Granted. Preliminary hearing ordered without further delay.

SUMMERS, C. J., dissents from the order.

TATE and DENNIS, JJ.,

The accused’s constitutional right to a preliminary examination fixed for hearing cannot be evaded by continuing the hearing in order to permit the grand jury time to indict an accused.
